Birthday Blues

by GirlNamedLady

Make a wish Another blown candle to my so called golden year Another wish in earths rotation to the same life long inauguration When is the house and picket fence sent? In blown candles of wishes after wishes? Doubt after doubt it becomes so repetitious ? When does your pockets grow? In blown candles of riches after riches Til you become so poor you sleep under the bridges When is love sent? In blown out candles of loneliness Carrying a familiar scent to its smokey extinguishment? Oh life, Light me up instead but not like a birthday candle No, No Light me like a night candle Like the flame you wouldn't separate from its source upon lighting
