Blow Out the Candle
I saw you alone with her in silence,
gaping…there’s not much more I can handle.
You were the one I’d go to for guidance,
but for now I’ll just blow out the candle.
A blaze we shared under constellations,
flames of romance; be still my beating fears.
So intense we died in consummation,
but the breeze came along and brought me tears.
I needed you…like the air in my lungs,
you needed freedom from my restless heart.
Our hot flare left leaving ashes that stung,
but the wind blustered, our torch did depart.
Wax melted before we got to dandle,
so for now I’ll just blow out the candle.
