Overwhelmed
Poems
Oct 2010
candle
raw with burnt out emotion
I feel the sting of feeling
why now do you return?
this wick has burned out
and my wax builds steadily
around the charred string
that is usually the center
of a person
but there I see my pearly
form melting away as the
heat builds from a fire fresh
sparked in the soul I thought
could no longer catch
