My Heart the Candle

Wick burning silently.

See in the flame

My love for you.

In the flickering,

My hesitation.

Feel the warmth.

Smell the sweet aroma.

In the wisp of smoke rising,

See my longing.

And in the wax melting,

My hope waning.

Consuming me, in slow burn.

 

You kindled it.

Come, extinguish it.

Or carry me with you.

I promise to light your life.
