The candle is lit
my questions
unanswered
could he?
of course not
I am foolish
burning flames
caress my skin
like his hands
knowing this is
burning me
alive
inside

What deep pain is expressed here. The imagery is so powerful. This really touched me:
"burning flames
caress my skin
like his hands
knowing this is
burning me
alive
inside"
