Blown Out Flame

Colorless flowers lay across
Look at what you have caused 
Dirtied T-shirt 
Bloodied by the hurt 
battered by the shame 
with only you to blame
Heart shattered above 
Soul sourced below 
A lonely stone 
that only you could throw
Flooded thoughts 
none that we've fought 
slain to rest 
Such a beautiful mess 
if only you cleaned
The ship wouldn't of wrecked 
the dog would of fetched
But the flame went out too soon 
oh yes 
the flame was blown out
By you
