Description
Slow tears
Dripping like hot wax
From a candle
There is music in my ears
But I can only hear
The song you left in my heart
Devastated from the rain
But I don’t want to come in from the cold
I feel like my soul owes a debt
That I don’t deserve
To be warm today
That I must pay for my sins
By feeding the beast
That is killing me on the inside
How can someone
You love so much
Just stop loving you
How can I keep carrying a flame
When you know longer feel the heat
How long do I have to hurt
This is a very bad attempt at showing a candle dripping with hot wax. Lol sorry about that I still hope you like the poem. Randy

the unanswerable question
Yes it is a unanswerable question like beachzz said....I'm was trying to put the pieces back together and I was almost there and then my bubble got popped again.. Very well written
I like the image! It's what brought me to the poem. When I read this I read deep hurt, but I also think that the speaker is one small step closer to healing. He is at least to the point of feeling the rain and seeing the shelter even though he refuses to take it. He's in the "I'm so miserable, I don't deserve to be happy." But that's better than "All is misery, happiness doesn't exist." Unfortunately, people can stay in this self denying stage for a long time. This is well written with great expression of pain.
