The Half Burnt Candle
by Kiamesha
Was just an instant attraction That we both incidentally shared. For all those hours we talked Your kisses were a welcome shock I know that I agreed to your love for just that night But it was because I secretly longed for more Even as I watched you light the candle by your bed And I saw it had been lit before. So that next morning, I rose before you Showered off your sweet scent I dressed quickly and carried my shoes So as not to be too loud. I took a deep breath of the crisp morning air As I darted out to my car Exhiliarated, because I had escaped The awkward morning coffee offer But it felt nice to be cradled in your arms I fondly play over your other charms During the dawn lit drive home. Tender touch still lingering on my skin, But as I slip on my sandals I remember the half burnt candle.
