Nobody wants Nothing

all
i’ll want
you to do
for both of us
is to be a light
be to us a candle
burn slow, with humility
protect the hearts of light and fluid
don’t melt and drip and die on me
care less about the colour;
blue flame, yellow flame, white
be to us a light
for both of us
i’ll want you
to be
me
