The flame dies
With tears from my eyes
The flame dies
Without a reason for life

Cut in half
Unraveled
Singed in imagination
Burned in reality
Pieced to whole
To fall apart

Compassion doused the flames
With watery numbness
Compassion killed the pain
With fiery emptiness

The fire dies
In your eyes
The fire dies
In your life

And I can't give it back
I can't relight what I never had [comments] => 12 [counter] => 303 [topic] => 48 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I Can't

Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I Can't

The flame dies
With tears from my eyes
The flame dies
Without a reason for life

Cut in half
Unraveled
Singed in imagination
Burned in reality
Pieced to whole
To fall apart

Compassion doused the flames
With watery numbness
Compassion killed the pain
With fiery emptiness

The fire dies
In your eyes
The fire dies
In your life

And I can't give it back
I can't relight what I never had

How can you relight what you never had,or felt..I wish that sometimes it was much easier to do..But alas it never will be..Your write is a very strong yet soothing post.
