Of Candles & Cakes



Who do you wish for?
-

I blew a wish
Towards the fire
And prayed that the wind
Carried it all,
Not just bits and pieces
Of my song,
But everything
My heart longs for.

I hoped that those
Who ate slices of the cake
Did not devour my wishes
Because if that's the case
Then my only desire
Will come running down
The dirty drain,
My future gone into the sewer.

I felt the wind
Blowing against me
And in that instant
I saw all the dreams
Carried by the wind,
The very wind that carried 
My birthday wishes,
I started praying.

I asked the heavens to not let 
The wind blow against you.
I don't want you to know
That my wishes are about you,
It's a secret between me and God
Just like how we kept things
between us.
