light the flame that won’t cease.

 

Baby, can you feel
The endless flame within my heart?
The moment our eyes intertwined,
I saw the fire that mirrored mine,
And I knew, deep in my soul,
I’d carry it till my final breath stole.

Baby, do you know
Part of me longs to be heartless, free,
To roam like a flame untamed, carefree,
Shining brightly in the dark’s embrace,
A wild light, with no tethered trace.

Baby, I can’t wait to see your face,
If you were here, in this quiet space,
Would your gentle lips meet mine,
Or cast me to the flames of time,
Leave me burning, like you did before,
Alone, consumed, forevermore?

I’ve carried sorrow like endless rain,
So heavy, I can’t see the light again.
But when I see your face, my tears fall like the sea,
And the pain returns, drowning me.

I begged you to leave, to set me free,
Yet knowing I could never be,
Til’ my very last breath is spent,
Til’ my bones burn, without relent.

So, baby, I ask you, please,
Light the flame that won’t cease.
