Another poem just inspired by a song, nothing personal.

How could you let this falter,
Why did you let us fall apart
I had promised you forever,
and given to you my heart
but as the moon rises in the sky,
My tears fall as you say goodbye

How could I be so foolish?
Why did I let myself get so close?
I felt that this was something
that would last a lifetime
but as the moon rises in the sky,
I watch the tears roll as you say goodbye

How could we let go,
of the feelings that we shared?
Why did we let the small things get the best of us?
I were everything, or so I thought
However, now, I guess you are not
As the moon rises, that is when we will say goodbye
We will watch the tears roll as the flame slowly dies
