Candle Boy

Lighting storms haunting my dreams.
Two coffee rings unclean
All I want to do is scream

All you left me with
is dirty dishes
a broken heart.
Unheard wishes
And crooked art.

You ignited my heart
And let it burn
Only to not return.

I let you light a flame in my heart
Thinking we would not part.
Is all I am to you some dumb little candle boy?

I once stood tall and proud
but since you lit my heart
I can't help but melt.

All I am is some
dumb
dumb
dumb
candle boy
Who am I?
What have I become?
Ive become some empty embodiment of the boy I once was
My wit replaced with a wick
All that's holding me up is a candle stick.

Oh well, they say.
Maybe one day
You won't be such a dumb little candle boy.
