The Flame Without the Candle
I have a strange feeling in my stomach
I can't relate to what it is.
Is it the pain that suddenly appears
Because you can no longer be near?
I fooled myself
I thought I could handle
The burning flame
Without the candle.
I was mistaken,
Now I see.
For the match that lit the flame,
Was none other than thee.
Trust my intuition?
I no longer can.
For it would surely get out of hand.
Despite the pain I feel inside,
I bow out gracefully,
For I have lied.
I said I understood,
And it was okay.
But as for my heart, I know-
It will never be the same.
