Flames

As the tears stream down my face, I blame only you for my pain. My mind and my heart can only now race, About my loss but your gain In my never ending chase For love, for hope, for fun For purpose in these ever long days I see my dream and I think of you. I rip it to pieces but save the lace I start a fire as you did in my soul The embers fly away with every last tear The walls burn down around me fast but slow My heart beats quickly as you scream to me, ‘no’. You broke me then, you shall never again I fall to the floor and turn to thin dust You run now away from my grave Where I will forever remember your name
