The Flame we shared atop of the candle
Wiped out by the cold winter days of our arguing
No longer provides the light I used to see in you
The light that drew me to your delicate ways
Now hardened and forgotten
A piece of coal mistaken for a diamond
Picked before it could ripe
Instead of the sweet nectar of love, we watched as it rotted
day by day, I love you less and less
The passion is gone, a lost cause among a sea of doubt,
Excuse my hardened nature for why we must part
A relationship turned to Beauty-less art
I can not bear the thought of the time wasted
Take what I have given, a chance to love
And to be truly loved in return

Do you understand?...
That MY heart belongs to another man
I’ve longed to discover another way to tell you
But as time passed, I could no longer take it
I could no longer lie to a innocent man
Caught between a woman and her soul’s desire to truly love, herself
Take my deepest sorrow as I’ve wasted your time too
Precious seconds, never to be redeemed again
I only hope that you may salvage a relationship at all
Oh how I see the hatred flowing through your body
Burning with the desire to end my happiness, my life,
Because I have destroyed yours
So hate me for now, I deserve it
But, just know, that was never my intention

You are not my lover any longer, but you have played your part in my life
As I have done in yours
The curtain closes on some plays earlier than expected
Ours slammed shut, so fast. So violently
we just didn’t heed notice, Until it was too dark to see
that we were hurting each other more holding on,
than letting go and parting ways.

Two roads diverging, with separate futures awaiting
Mistakes to be made, and choices to be chosen
I’ve chosen life with him
But your eyes desire death for me
I fear your choice is to take my breath
Linger it in your hands and watch as I hopelessly die
Much how you believe I’ve done with your heart
But your love was simply incompatible with mine
May your heart one day mend with the thread of another
With this kiss, I dismiss all heart’s wonder
