Our Burning Wick
You'd so simply relight our affair –
Our burning wick-
With each growing sunset.
Thoughtfully,
No longer is there that red wax,
With the darkness all the same.
And somehow,
I find myself surrounded
By a plentifulness of candles.
With I in the center,
Holding close a match,
Uneasy with the thought,
Of lighting another.
Bio
I currently reside in Florida, where I am an Undergraduate student at Florida State University studying Literature. As of right now, I am continuing to write as I simultaneously prepare to take the LSAT in early November.
