Red Scented Candle

Her teary eyes and reddish drops

Now pouring continually.

No words flew in that dark room

Yet her scent covers the place.

I cannot stand the feeling

While I sit staring at her.

My flame flickered

Yet her fire stood

Even if it consumes her.

I have to blow it

And put it off

For she’s in pain.

My mouth whispered

Cold wind came out.

She quivered,

Her fire stopped.

Drying tears

As she stood still.

Then she left me

With the red scented candle

Still glowing.

Its fire stopped as I blow my nose

And wipe the droplets

That moisten my fake smile.
