My everything
January 13, 2022
Was it fire or sparks
you lit inside me?
They're not the same...
"I will give you everything
you need, I want you"
Those words feel
like a burning candle
Your flame kept its size
inside my home
I
am
the
candle
But how was your flame
always up and oval shaped?
I was the wax you burned
I closed your
day and night
Home.
Now your flame has
diminished in the air
My love, where
did you go?
Ghost
The silence makes the two of us.

I wrote this piece during my automotive class. This might be deceiving to some readers, but I used romantic language to make mood and tone shifts. I wanted to show the mix of emotions I get when I think about my most recent romantic encounter. And how being in a constant flow of positive and negative emotions towards a person is difficult to organize.
