WAXES OF A MELTED HEART (intro)
<p><br/></p><p>*The Waxes of a Melted Heart*</p><p><br/></p><p>I burned myself to keep you warm, and you called it light,</p><p>Watched me drip away in silence, drip by drip, each night.</p><p>Every “I love you” was a flame I swallowed just to stay,</p><p>Till my ribs ran empty, and the wax pooled where I lay.</p><p>The waxes of a melted heart now scar the wooden floor,</p><p>Brittle fossils of the times I begged you for more.</p><p>Some cooled in the shape of your name I carved with shaking hands,</p><p>Some cracked the moment you walked out and left me where I stand.</p><p>I don’t light candles anymore — I’m scared of how I go,</p><p>How easy it is to disappear just to watch someone else glow.</p>
