used to be

your candle burns bright in my room
with no light
squeeze tight
stay and love me
last the night
choose to stay
not to go
light your candle
watch the glow
a shadows cast
looks like you
open arms
smiles too
overjoyed to see your face
to feel the warmth in your embrace
windows opened
candles out
smoke fills my lungs
cant scream or shout
stuck unable to live or breathe
cling to your shadow
of what used to be
