Ellylldan

Call it burning

Both ends of the candle

Call it whatever you want

When these flames are

Licking my skin

At midnight hours 

From twilight unto dawn

This faint pain lingers

First just warm

For my cold heart

Then all the water consumed

Red blisters

Color of the flames.

I am these flames.

I am consumed by these flames.

Both the driving force and the fuel.

I can't last to much longer

Without you.
