To You

12 1 1
                                    

To you I was a frame

A few seconds full of smiles

The distraction that you clicked

And watched for a lingering while. 


To you I was a word

Or many words, depending. 

 You kept your rules and walls

And mine continued bending. 


To you I was a wish

Made when candles burned. 

Smoke and music cleared, 

But you had long since turned. 


To you I was a song 

Ended at its beginning. 

This game goes on in circles,

And you are always winning.
