Burn
Time burns out faster than the candle I lit at both ends
Split in two and re-lit again
Four times the flame
Keeps my determination ablaze
Keeps my determination ablaze
Until someone breathes deep and exhales with the
Force of a child making a heartfelt birthday wish
Reducing me to sweet scented smoke and a
Puddle of rainbow wax that is long forgotten until
We make another trip around the blazing sun and
We make another trip around the blazing sun and
I am reignited.
