The Fire In My Soul

The fire in my soul Was just another chapter In your insane life. A safe and loving harbor For you to come home to Candle light would glow In the frosty window The embers were warm As you walked through the door Greeted with passion Never turned you away Blind to that other life You led on the outside Believed you my true love As we danced through the night The candle light dinners I cooked to perfection Making sweet love By the crackling fire I was played for a fool Believing your words Your music so soothing As I sat with my tears I forgave you again And again, and again Until the forgiving Had emptied my heart Yes, the fire in my soul Was just another chapter In your insane life……… Until it burned itself out.

Yes, so true! Thank you for your kind words! I am still trying to find my way in the world of poetry, have gone through a very emotional time these past few years resulting in a flow of words on paper.....
