Should I blow out the candle of *** and love.
The candle that lit a part of the room
that sat and gazed upon our bodies.
That stayed motionless and dim, stagnant and consistent.

The dim spark tries to match and parallel the electricity that it watches.
The light stays dim, at the corner of the room where it is motional;
watching the bodies.
Quiet in the corner.

Dimming and fading, as the lovers slowly finish and sink into the bed, motionless and still as the candle.

The *** candle gets blown out, as abrupt as it gets lit.  

The *** candle sits at the corner of the room awaiting to be lit again, awaiting the movement it lacks. Never ready to be blown out.
it gently dims, just like the mirrored bodies it watched.

I am good, I am wise, I am bright, I am kind, I am empathetic, I am funny
If I am not kind or empathetic once,
that doesn’t exterminate how kind and empathetic I am.
Doing something that isn’t right for myself hurts my soul but it doesn’t make me a bad person.
I am allowed to make mistakes.
I am a good.

The pain I’ve caused has wrapped itself around people’s happiness. It murdered them of there peace even before knocking.

The bad I’ve caused came from the darkest part of my soul. No love for anything was found there.

The bad things I’ve done doesn’t make me a bad person. The pain I’ve caused doesn’t make me evil.

I’m sorry to every person I’ve caused pain too. My heart and soul goes out to ALL of you.

I’m going to help everyone that needs help and make up for all the pain I’ve caused.

I'm going to have to leave my house soon,
I want 'soon' to last forever, but forever wouldn't be enough,
The 'soon' keeps getting closer and I can feel my house slipping from my fingers,
I can feel it slipping into my memory.

I am drowning in my own sorrow,
I see you in the distance on a big boat alone,
You wave me over with a wide smile,
I swim over as fast as I can,
I am out of breathe when I get to your boat,
I look up at you with a sad smile hoping you'll save me,
Sometimes as I'm reaching for your hand you smile then it disappears and you turn around and start the engine leaving me stranded,
Other times you smile down at me and reach out your hand and grasp mine and start pulling me up then stop, let go, shake your head and leave,
I never get on your boat, you have always left my stranded with me feelings and myself.

Why don't people understand that there's so much pain in my heart,
I'm absorbed of pain and it hurts.
It hurts so bad,
I don't know how to get the pain out so I cause pain to others.

In my eyes you are sunshine always.
I get jealous of the people you show your light too, the people that you warm with your heart, the people that get to touch your soul constantly.
Anger stirs in my chest knowing I can’t touch your soul constantly,
I can’t always be warmed by your light, knowing you’re giving comfort and love to someone who isn’t me.
I irk for your love,
but if I don’t have all of it I don’t want any of it.
