Poem: "The Burning of Forever"

"The Burning of Forever"

Dearest _________,

I cannot go on like this
while the sun fades
and silent pain washes over my broken heart
oh, if you could just see my eyes
before you had to say goodbye

Memories of you
haunt my sleep
and laugh in my face
in my lonely moments
of desperation

If I could burn a candle
and hold you close
once more
maybe I could learn

to stop the burning of forever
that threatens to swallow
the last vestiges of hope

how I love you still..
