Heart in a Spindle (as submitted to Highestwire)

My heart in a spindle
Watch as I dwindle
Coming undone by questions without answers
The wax on a candle
Like such, I can't handle
The heat of my burning curiosity
There goes my heart
As I fall apart
Another trite use of rhyme scheme,
I'm sorry
But at times like these
I must confess
(In a wold filled with emptiness
Because of the vanities of a heart that's been pawned)
I find myself at rest in You
