I lit a candle as he left,

Watched the flame consume the wick as my heart broke,

Not for the love that not it’s death,

But for the fact I could finally see it was all a joke,

Our forever was never meant to be.

Now I sit here lost and confused,

Not sure if I ever had anything to lose,

Nothing comes to mind as I watch the dancing flame.

I wait for tears that never come,

I wait for hurt but there is none,

Just a sadness for both our wasted time.

The minutes tick away to hours,

The candle into wax,

Still he’s not come back.

On my table sit’s a mess,

Reminds me of what we have left,

But all I do is go to bed.

I wonder why I can sleep when my pillow meets my head,

Why I just can’t feel a thing but relief since he’s gone away.
