twenty.nine candles

By denver nitze

twenty.nine candles
sit on top of a cake
this can't be happening
it must be a mistake

twenty.nine years
and countless tears

stacked on a cake
to make it
a
bit


sweet...er?


and twenty.nine
heart.aches

and

twenty.nine
loves

all lost in a moment

all gone in a breathe

as they...





dwindle.



dance.


gasp.




shudder.



and


.die.


and in the
dark.ness


life





has









gone
.
.
