Flamed.

Nonetheless,

The wounds bleed,

The wick lights,

Nostalgia.

Forever more,

The remnants itch,

The wax blurs,

Bliss.

Besides,

The scars toughen,

The scent perspires,

Paranoia.

Paradoxically,

The scabs fall,

The heat subsides,

Serenity.

Furthermore,

The marks remain,

The cold beckons,

Senseless.

Nonetheless,

The traces disregard,

The fires revive,
Adoration..
