I gave you light,
Even though all it does is hurts me
The flame burning into my soft shell,
When that light struck me
I kept it alive
Every time I flicker it's my pain and anxiety showing through
And I try to hold back my wax drips, but I cannot help it
All you do is worry about what I might destroy
Not me
So you move me and I flicker more
Faster and faster
As time ticks on
My wax tears eventually make the world go dark
And I am burned down past my now not so smooth skin.
My skin that show reflection of that light that I once held
Now you noticed that I am gone
There is no more of that light you longed for, but never knew because you always had it
Now the world is dark because you could not see my waxy tears
Even though I gave you the light to do so
