little candles lit
I wipe your eyes
and remind you
you’re melting. 

(I have)
(just look, I have)

fire—

(at your lowest)

Who can afford the flame
when they’re burning?
—what’s trust to shame?

two arms to the throat
but you can’t sustain:

(loved you)

all heat
yet darkness,
you are:

a candle. 

I’ve loved you at your lowest
and you’ve loathed me at my zenith.

but dear, you’re out of oxygen.
You know I’m not your phoenix.
