Burn a candle twice

 In her dark emptiness, he burned,

To keep her showing like the way,

The northern star, but now it fades;

When the heart not accepting the way,

How all in universe has en expiry date.

In the cold and numb evenings he burned,

To keep her warm, the way,

Her wide chest, safeguards her heart.

Through autumn and winter he learned,

Her heart was never to be tamed,

However they wanted to stop,

His heart tried a way to start.

Everyday he burnt through all,

But the cold and dark inside her heart,

Somewhat immune to the light and warmth.

Was a pillow to her neck and blanket to cuddle,

When the heart not accepting the way;

How, all in her life were expendable!

Like a candle he burnt,

Slowly melting away,

The warmth his heart had to offer,

Glaciers would melt but she would not,

Only reckoning when the candle dies,

Only when it turns to a pile of wax.

The heart now aches and the lungs now burn,

Throat is dry and the spines too cold,

And when she opens her eyes at last,

Only sees his heart, turned to ash.

She tried to hug the image thats left,

And screams all of his names,

Tears and rain, now wouldn’t suffice,

To erase all his tender wounds,

Now her heart not accepting the way,

How you cannot, burn a candle twice.
