Wax-Like

Vulnerable…

My wax-like existence 

in the presence of your flame

makes my eyes drip with tears.

 

This constant bleeding of my soul…

This neverending torment…

My waxy soul will sometimes 

avoid the world’s flame,

 

and my running tears will dry.

And my wax figure will be silent…

tears dried still, as they’re like tattoos,

a picture of my past sorrows!

    1. I think that open vulnerability is a great strength, in a similar vein to how admitting ignorance is actually a sign of great intelligence. It’s easy to melt when you feel more than most…,most people wish they could burn like you.
