Analysis of crackle
my candle burned out
they gathered round each others flames and kept warm
how could my flame keep burning?
you came along, your flamed seemed to burn so bright
you helped me re light my candle
crackle
our flames burned too close.
you’re afraid,
crackle
you blew out my flame
left me alone, cold and in the dark
selfish and a coward
you steal flames like mine
i hope you burn in them.
