Your Eternal Flame

During the Christmas holidays, a candle is continuously lit. It is to your memory to let you know that I’ll never forget.. I sit by the fire reminiscing while I smoke a midnight cigarette. Your vanilla scented candle burns on the coffee table. You would be proud of me, because eventually I pulled myself together. I remember you warned me so many times you wouldn’t be here forever. You were my superwoman, I believed you were tough as steel! This candle, along with your memory helps me to heal. It’s kinda like you’re right here with me. I think of you as I put each ornament on the Christmas tree. Tears roll down my cheek as I whisper your sweet name. Inside my heart resides your eternal flame!!
