Your love was but a candle Shining brightly on my heart But I squelched the flames 'til there were ashes And the true feelings I let part But now my heart is burdened For the flame will not ignite My heart grew dark and cold For with you, you took the light So if you care enough inside You'll endure a second chance and see That our love will spark the flame Then I'll forever let it burn inside of me
Reason for writing:
What inspired me to write this poem is my ex-boyfriend. I brok up with him, but you never realize when you have a great thing until it's gone. I've moved on, and started dating other people, but I always find myself comparing them to my ex. So, this poem is for him, to let him know that I love him, and I'm sorry for what I did. A little advice...never let something go, until you know for sure that it's in your or somebody else's best interest.
