Feed the flame

Feed the flame, that's what you do.

I talk to you everyday for three years.

I introduce you to someone else.

They're better than me.

You hate me then.

The flame grows small, the obsession not fed, the needs not met.

One flame.

Another person comes along, they spark a flame.

The flame is fed for a while but then they suddenly stop

and the flame grows small as well.

Two flames.

Both flames flicker from time to time,

not to mention the dying flame connected to that someone else.

Three flames.

And a fourth flame forms, glowing brighter than ever.

You talk to me,

you actually seem to want me around,

and you feed the flame well.

Four flames.

He comes around, oh him.

His flame burns so brightly,

Brighter than anyone else's

Even the fourth flame.

five flames.

The fifth flame is fed regularly, as well as the fourth.

When the first flame flickers, the fourth flame is fed.

I feed the fifth's flame, he feeds mine.

I feed the fourths flame, crow feeds mine.

The second flame is fed every now and then but shines dully.

I am only worth what i can give.
