Candle

Love is like holding a candle.

In the beginning , it lightens you up.

You gradually enjoy it,

But eventually, it will start to melt;

And it will hurt you along the way;

But you still keep on holding on-

No matter how painful it is 

To hold something that slowly fades away.

Until the fire burns out,

You are left with nothing but darkness.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
