Broken Candle


Dear Soulbreaker,

Secrets flutter in the air

I fall for you despite it

All that is left is a vacant stare

It's all a skit

You're idiosyncrasies take over my brain

Hatred a broken heart cannot handle

And here I go again

I'm an endless candle

dripping wax every time a blink is nonexistant

so much fire... I am not that resistant.
