A broken wick

Shares a broken heart

When burning old flames

the wick falls apart

Her flame, her love

Rests upon my wick

But the eyes gain concern

For hers worn a bit.

Ignited with a spark

Brought light to my dark

But her poorly loved wick

somewhat denies to be lit

Brilliant as can be,

yet not enough to feed

Two souls, one light

Not alone in her sight.

Cared with tatter

from a previous matter.

Blew wind to her flame

then relit for the same.

Bit by bit

Inflicting wear to her wick

Flame on, flame off

Drained until she’s sick.

From her what purpose

does this flame for me

without the same for she

with old flames burning deep?

A broken wick

Shares a broken heart

Holding old flames,

Halts a new start

A broken wick

Shares a broken heart

Burning old flames

Her wick fell apart.

  1. is this based on sexual problems??


  2. It has potential. However, there are certain areas that seemed forced almost as if you are trying to rhyme but can't come up with better words. At other times it seems that you are trying to explain what you have already said. Leave it up to the readers imagination. Thats what is so beautiful about poetry. A few words can mean so many different things to so many different people.

    I understand how difficult it can be trust me I've written quite a few myself. If it happens either try letting that phrase go or step away from the writing for awhile and come back later.
