Let It Burn

by ºCrimsonTearsº   Apr 24, 2005


I light a candle and think of you,
And watch the orange flame burn bright,
I gently pick myself up off my bed,
And turn off the bedroom light.

I'm sitting in the dark and I feel no fear,
I suddenly see your face before mine,
You slowly reach out and touch my hand,
Before taking me back in time...

Lights flash by and we hit the ground,
Oh I remember how much I cried,
This was the day you lost my trust,
This was the first time you lied.

I remember this well, I frown to myself,
As I'm truly hating what I see,
You and another girl, kissing and hugging,
It was the day you cheated on me.

Why are you showing me this?' I ask you,
And you reply, because you need to see,
You need to remember what I did to you,
You deserve so much better than me.

You can't just sit around crying away,
I hope from this experience you learn,
Our love is like the candle in your room...
You just need to let it burn...

(And I did let it burn, well I still am. It's hard but I'm getting there. Votes and comments appreciated)

    Really like the poem, It has good meaning behind it and we all feel that way sometimes and the ones who have never been through this are the lucky ones.
    You're a really good writer keep it up and let that emotion out.
