My Cigarette Lighter

Vicky my poor widow and maid
I had to pause
and write you this page
A passing though my love has made
to mention you and the love I caged
My sight was your prisoner
when ever you were around
Desire well known deceptive clown
I fought the worlds reality
and defeat it with eternity
My love will out live time itself
A piece of my heart 
sits on your shelf
Reminding me there's 
no marriage in heaven
And with this 
revive hope it's given
Confess to souls
before I leave this earth
A cigarette lighter 
had given you birth
Known only to us
this secret code
The end of that night
this story unfolds
Wizards, witches and fairies
stake hold in their existence 
and the hand of god offer no resistance
It is not decrepit and never grew old
The love I kept for you
will never grow cold
Many times I saw you
with deepest regret
not a year goes by 
without your respect
I endure the suffering 
my desire distains
And if I were rich
Love wouldn't wait to claim
Laugh at others while 
they say it's a shame
Satisfy happiness while 
wearing your name
No, It never goes out 
this wanting claim
through time it's known as
this everlasting flame
