Like a candle day after day she melts
By his side for years and years she once dwelt
With her light, he kept growing and thriving
She's eaten up but naught he's ever felt!
Like a candle day after day she melts
He took her flame and in his torch it dwelt
To lighten all his darkening roads and caves,
And all her senses at his weird moods knelt
Like a candle day after day she melts
With all his crazes and blunders she dealt
But no complaints and not a single blame
Her heart was burnt, its smoke he's never smelt
Like a candle day after day she melts
She was that dreamer; charming, fresh and svelte
But now she's sinking in her pool of wax
Shapeless, soulless and denied a life belt.

Olfa Drid Derouiche is a Tunisian English teacher, a PhD scholar and a seed of a writer/ thinker who has just ripened and flowered along the school of life. Once called a “wise writer whose passion is meditation at the ailments of the human race and whose utter target of poetry medium is to trigger the minds of readers, stimulate previously silenced thoughts and question given-for-granted facts.” One of her 'HEART’ poems was published in The Poet Sanctuary's Anthology of poetry: Patchwork Musings (2009).
