Candle Wax

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

Feeling the warm glow 
on my face. 

Watching the flame dance 
like a ballerina on center stage. 

Drip after drip and minute 
after minute. 

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

The heat solfly kissing my 
skin.

The wax covers me like a 
second skin.

Drip after drip and minute 
after minute. 

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

The flames shadow light 
up the room.

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

Drip after drip and minute 
after minute. 

The flame goes out.
