Candles

you switched off our lights

but i had a candle

our candle-lit dinner

was just around you

I was trying to make you see

that this was not just poetry

the words i wrote in your books

are buried in my heart

and i don't know if it's patience

that made you impatient

or the longing for something cooler

girl i know i seem ancient


You saw my caveman ways

and stabbed me in the back......

I can't even bleed.
