Evolution

Candles melting wax flame

Your lies burn like flames
I am transformed
Melted by broken promises
My structure evolves
Into smoke
Permeating the air
You can’t leave me
Because now
You breathe me
My essence sinks
Deep into your bones
I will never miss you again
For I have come home

    Great simile; lies to burning flame…
    You lie still I come home, contrast in first and last line…
    Enjoyable…
