The Neverending Flame

The candle, which sets my heart aflame The fire, which scorches my soul with your name One question I ask of you, the truth if you please Why’d you reject my light, when I’ve begged on my knees Begged for your love, pleaded for you to me Pleaded that on your mind, my heart would be Did not thou see, the gifts I had in store In order to spoil thy body and spirit galore For now, that opportune has passed, for another is mine This unfortunate heart forever loves at the wrong time This new found torch, so angelically sweet She warms my soul with her soothing heat Her hues calming, her fumes embracing A torch not planned for replacing Although, with that said Visions of an old flame roam the boundaries of my head A flame never proclaimed dead, for loving you still I do The candle, the fire, the NeverEnding Flame that burns for you
