love made of wax

our love, made of wax, dwindled the longer it lived
like an echo, i disappeared when ignored
your promises kept coming but never arriving
keeping me awake like a river
having a bed but never sleeping

others used what belonged to me
more than i did
yet i’ve never grown afraid to keep giving
because my love grows the more i share
the more you took from me, the larger i became

instead of choosing me
you chose your pride
to fight you
and demolish every beautiful thing you’ve built

the effects of the past
and memories of you
will fade like an echo
when ignored
