When the Flame Is Gone
When the Flame is Gone
Shared destinies through space and time,
we were twin flames on the same psychic vine.
At birth, the same bright star our fates did align,
under Gemini our ruling zodiac Sun sign;
two souls united by the same cosmic lifeline.
Life’s trials strengthened us for one another,
we were kindred spirits always and forever.
Linked by the same umbilical tether,
our hearts and minds mirrored each other;
and the ties that bind would be broken never.
Then suddenly you left me high and dry;
taking off without any kind of good-bye.
Escaping like a haunted butterfly,
you freed yourself of me, seeking the sky.
My twin flame gone, I asked, “WHY, WHY?”
I didn’t understand and I cried, I could only cry.
Today, tomorrow would all be the same,
colorless, meaningless, and I had no name.
Did you think I’d be okay with you free?
Because you’re quite okay without me?
Did you think it’d be easy for me to forget you?
Because it’s easy for you to forget me too?
Did you think it’d be easy for me to pull through?
Because it’s easy for you to start anew?
But I won’t wander with the clouds of Venus,
solitary and adrift ‘cause there’s no us.
Now I know you’re no longer my twin flame,
why should I remember your hateful name?
Today, tomorrow, it won’t all be the same,
colorless, meaningless, worthless,
just because you’re an iceberg...heartless!
On the ship of lost souls, I won’t be a prisoner…
for someday I’ll find love again with my true other.
