Blaze of Goodbye

I try so hard to assemble myself
from the night before,
but I'm still engulfed
in a world without you,
surrounded by the fierce blaze
of your goodbye.

Lulled by the music
as we dance to the song,
softly twisting to a love
that seemed so strong.

But you shut the door
on the bond we had,
my heart catching flames
from the candlelight
that burned down my soul.

...

So...

...

Why am I still waiting
for you to embrace me with a surprise
that I know will never happen?
