Klarissas Candle

Most times I don't introduce you to the me I'd like you to meet. Although it's anonymously unintended. I've revealed the second chance of myself being hurt spiritually. The experience of life. All the people who offer beautiful smiles. The recovering of a familiar face. The hello of an imperfect flame. Extinguished by the goodbye of loss. The smoke left forever to roam. Never to find it's place. It becomes habit, To keep distance. Constantly moving. Too scared to let someone new in. Soon as someone new approaches, The flame is extinguished & regret sets in. I close myself off and smother everything around. Wholeheartedly. Soon as you get close that's why I pack everything up & run. As much as you love my scent I am afraid that you'll use me until there is nothing left. That you'll blow out the spark to everything that I feel is real. Memories can be beautiful, And it is for that reason that I cannot allow you to get close. This fear the only comfort I feel is real
