Symbol of sacrifice so pure and white

If only people were that pure
our life would be much safe and secure

Weeping tears yet it has no eyes
one true thing in a world of lies

Don't you wonder why it cries!
Fading slowly until it dies

Calms your emotions,puts you in a trance
At dinner table adds some romance

Strong inside but apparently weak
Saying all yet it doesn't speak

Shining realities through our shadow
Revealing the deepest and the shallow

Peacefully in my room away from scramble

Calms your emotions,puts you in a trance

Shining realities through our shadow
Revealing the deepest and the shallow

I gots it at the line where it's crying. This is beautiful. Truly. And I totally get it, because I burn candles to calm myself, they are majestic.
