The Fire that burned is now extinguished

By walkersway

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How can I think of love when I no longer seek it How is that I am happy yet I am alone How is it because I stop seeking When I realize that it could come from within The strange and weird games that I would play In an attempt to find love Knowing  the dice are always loaded So I have put a way my childish toys and moved on The fire that burned is now extinguish But I feel warm inside I use to long for your fulfillment but now I am content To sit with the dying embers glowing I use to hold you atop a pedestal Though you ask me not to It was hard to see you as equal When my sight was blinded by my own perception Yet I have brought you down No that isn’t right I have raise myself up And now we are equal I value who you are still but I value myself more now It is important that I leave as friends rather than bitter sweet lovers You could see easily the first but I wanted you to be the latter But we couldn’t and deep down I knew the truth but my ears were deaf You are wise beyond years But I am knowledgeable because of experienceI wrote this a long time ago about an x who after two years I finally got over.
