Embers

you were the one for me, finally found,

the feelings were instant, and burned bright,

burned so brightly so fast there was nothing left,

left me here alone, scarred, and left bound,


Just the thought of you always brought me a smile,

the smiles have all gone and left behind the pain,

the memories of your kisses and warmth of your arms,

have been replaced by doubts, was this ever worth while?


you swore there was something here, something real,

but instead of believing in us, believing in love,

you left, took the easy route, the shortest path,

the path that led to a hole, and that's your deal.


Don't call to me to save you, you chose your fate,

I'll remember you, whether I want to or not,

but I'm free to move on, free to heal from this,

while you'll always remember, stuck in a life you hate.
