Feeding the Flame of Insecurity

As I looked in your eyes, I saw a tiny flicker As a small piece of your love for me Died deep within you A flicker so small You barely gave it notice, But it blazed like the sun As it seared my heart I felt my soul shiver As if your precious gift Was pulled from body A sickening wave of despair Passes through me As I realize your love for me Will no longer be whole My heart is left broken And bleeding with regret, Unable to mend the wound That has been inflicted. Will time heal the damage? Or will I have to suffer A slow painful death As the fire within you Slowly dies out, As your once loving arms Releases it embrace on my soul. Shall I continue to fan the flames That I see still burning inside you, Or does the fuel for my love No longer have the capacity to sustain it? I think I shall just close my eyes And let fate run its course.
