a candle is lit;
ignited from angst,
malicious eyes are set,
challenging the fire.
curious eyes;
tries to kill it; with,
puff; this time around,
puff; they're so sure,
nope; they won't bother,
to read their lips.
soon it will be felt,
when skin meets embers;
trying to drown the light,
smoke between those eyes;
sets the twilight,
eyes are parched;
late to learn,
not to play with fire.
