You thought he was the sun-
dripping in silken gold.
you thought that the whole world
revolved around him
but, oh dear soul,
when what you thought
was an immortal source of light
never came out one day,
or the weeks to follow-
you realized then
that he was just
a little burning candle light,
meant to last
for only a short time.
