Jesus, that's heartbreaking. Elegantly written and tender, without shying away from the brutal truth of the situation. I'm really impressed by this, I think it's brilliant.

I have read this poem 6 times today, and each time I feel like i have just fallen out of a tree, the ending hits you hard. I really admire how you are able to lure the reader into the scene, every one writes about a candle at night, its nothing new, yet you make it sound so fresh, and give it another angle when the girl says she would dance like the flame it only.......... i dont want to come across as an obsessed fan, but I rarely feel so included when I read poetry, your work has agreat appeal.

A great poem and oh so sad. Ian
