Life is the flame
and we the wax
that is softened,
forced to shine,
and finally sent
to wisp away.
Shine well.

I didn't think leaving could be this hard, even if it was the right thing to do.
I didn't think you would let go this easily. I thought maybe you would try and get me to stay.
But it's okay. I guess you lose sense of the big picture once you're so heavily invested in something
that's only ever going to try and kill you in the end. I'm trying to forget but this is harder than I imagined.
I want to forget. I wish this had never began, I wished I'd never known you, I wish you weren't so annoyingly
you. I want you out of my life, 2015 is a new year, new start, new habits.
They say it takes 40 days for something to become 'normal' to you;
if that's how long it takes to forget you, then I'm down.
Don't ruin next year,
Please.

She was the flame of a candle -Steady and stately from afar, But flickering and unsure when anyone tried to get near.

There's a little tugboat floating out to sea,
The waves jut into a rusted bucket,
Swaying it asunder,
All the boat carried was cargo,
No urgency, no importance,
A mar on a beautiful ocean,
Oh little tug boat, oh little tug boat;
I'm sorry that you're me,
Maybe we'll finally be lost at sea.
(d.e)

give it the power to actually teach you anything

"If you're afraid of the dark," the man said,
"Then why don't you sleep with a light on?"
"Because," the little girl replied,
"The light only makes more shadows."

"As he lit his cigarette, he thought
Ah, another nail in my coffin.
He watched the smoke rise from the ashes as he would a soul leaving,
drifting, weaving amongst the branches of the hickory tree outside his door.
He sighed as he inhaled the wraith like smoke into his crumbling black lungs.
~
He choked a laugh as he thought, coal miners weren't the only ones with nailed shut lungs and blackness around their hearts. The ashes fell like the cells of his body, crumbling, black, grey, dead. He choked again as he stubbed out the glowing embers of his needed, desired, cancer sticks. He turned and dropped the butt onto the pile of coffin nails by his door and went back to his room in Hospice."

When she was a girl
She wanted the world
but it was ripped from under her feet.
The demons, they cackled,
as they stood and they shackled
her heart to her head and her sleeve.
She screamed, she cried
and she all but died
as they left her alone in the forest.
She tripped and she f e l l,
head resting on hell as
she lead down for o n e m o r e rest
