Melting point

I dreamt of you againÂ
Your cameo was great, it’s only when my eyes open the nightmare beginsÂ
Or continues rather, these recurring patterns would be bearable if only you were here.Â
Well I say that, but there’s always an issue,
I guess I’m just saying I miss you.Â
You’re a bonfire and I’m made of wax.Â
My very essence trickles down to the floor as I approach you, I know I won’t be around much longer if I continue this, but I can’t help but yearn for your warmth.Â
So here I am, a puddle on the ground; if you aren’t the flame maybe you’ll slip on what I once was, that’s the only way you’ll fall for me.Â
But I know you’ll just wipe me off, after all why would you parade a mistake, an inconvenience, a general nuisance that surely ruined your day?Â
So I’ll remain here in my newfound liquid existence, waiting for the sun to dry me up.Â
As I evaporate from the pavement and my particles return to the grand canvas we call the sky perhaps I’ll be at peace.Â
Or perhaps nothing will change; another state of matter still in a state of delusion.

Hello & Welcome to Cosmofunnel!Â
I found your poem to be very moving and well written. I had many favorite parts. The metaphors paint the portrait of a person longing for love, hoping for closure and learning how to accept the present, even if you are not together anymore. That is what I read from your poem. I enjoyed the metaphors so much, I listed them below. Thank you for sharing your poem -- there is a lot of good elements to this poem.Â
Favorite parts:Â
You portray yourself as wax, a puddle and a liquid existence, how creative and unique. They say, water is related to needing peace, solitude and/or freedom.Â
Good job.Â
Happy New Year 2020Â
I cannot wait to read more of your work.Â
