Pining
Fire in the heart
keeps burning
long after
the love has gone
It is the candle
burning bright
for you
that keeps me
holding on
Watching from the window
expecting you
to walk
up the path
Pretending nothing
happened
A figment of
my imagination
Your avalanche of wrath
Hopelessly pining
for the love you
took from me
when you left
Saying I was
undeserving
and leaving me
forever bereft
