Birthday Betrayal


Memories can be like those obstinate candles on the birthday cake, refusing to blow out. Flickering and reducing but relighting all the same.

In a final showdown they are extinguished and taken out but leave the cake eternally marred.

I always think of them like an offering... there is something rather sad about birthday-candles. Symbolic of another year gone like smoke into the air...But maybe also something for the heavens to see, a little spark of life, a little bit of us ascending upwards..)
Wishing the best for you always!
