you deserve more but this is all i have to give.
“Birthday Candles”
It seems to be that time again
When you put on your party dress
And you indulge me for a moment
As I take time to reflect
Upon your smile so warm
Encompassing the soft glow of an ember
And your stubborn eyes
So steady with all the chill of late December.
You have a great wall
To keep in all the chaos and disorder
While your heart churns out
The blood you give, permeating through the mortar.
And that heart of yours
It beats so rhythmic through your skin
It is so genuine and sweet
And distracts us from the secrets buried deep within.
And that blood of yours
That trickles through the spaces in the bricks
Is a deeper shade of red
Resulting from the depth of soul within your plasma mix.
I feel fortunate enough
That you ever took the time
To take bricks down from that wall
So I could have a look inside.
It seems to be that time again
And I thought I’d stop to tell you how
I love you still so very much
Before you blow your birthday candles out.
happy 19th birthday nikki noelle denton. you are forever in my heart and soul. (it's been so long since i've put anything on this thing.)
