The sweet gust of flame
comes and tickles my nose,
the scent of the same candle
we will both always know...

I wonder what you're up to,
when I look at the moon,
like the slightly cloudy nights
when I was standing beside you...

Like the flame that flickers
as the candle is soon to go out,
my love for you fluctuates
from distant memories, to now...

What clouds my thoughts most,
is not the web we wove,
but how we should move forward,
in this garden of thorns.

To pretend we're both happy
would be deceiving to both;
Should the rose be cut for pleasure?
Or should the rose be left to grow?
Like I say, I HATE love.

We've entered into a limbo
On no other accord but our own
See—the only way to enter
Is to take part in a love badly scorned
The delicate act of playing pretend
Is quite idyllic to some
The naïve play aloof in a dream
Magic, until it too, succumbs

But us

Our love slipped through the cracks
The very ones we once avoided
Because to know what love can be
Makes the demise to be avoided

Like a warm breeze
that's kissed my cheek,
You creep into my heart
in the corner that's weak.

I want to tell you I love you,
Among other things-
That I'm no longer waiting
For our time to be again...
I want to hear you say it
That you can't live without me.
Yet I can't evade this darkness
That consumes the new skin
On me.
I've met someone new. Would you be happy too?

Never force a forever
From something meant to be
fleeting...
