Eternal Flame

Ignited

By Leticia CortesPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

It was love at first sight

This I'm certain of

From the moment I saw your face

You caught my gaze

You ignited my eternal flame

With you I dreamt of spending the rest of my days

A love so grand I would cross any mountainside

Your eyes so enchanting

Your touch tantalizing

Your kisses left me in a daze

Never did I ever imagine a life without you

One moment you're here and the next your gone

I found it hard to breath whenever you would leave

These days I wake up and you're not next to me

A feeling once so bittersweet

I couldn't live without you; couldn't breathe without you

Couldn't eat without you; couldn't think without you

My life was all about you

Until the day I realized it was all about me

Everything needed was inside of me

That you took my love for granted

That you were more broken than I

So easily you forget

Every sacrifice I gave to call you mine

You kept secrets; told me lies

Coming home every day as if everything was fine

One day you'll realize she will never love you as much as I

My life was yours

I didn't care if my eyes were never dry

My Mr. Wrong

But to me you were, oh so right

A love like ours was an everyday fight

You left me so weak in the knees

I could hardly speak

I used to hope for one last dance

No one else stood a chance

It took years to get over the emptiness you left

You once made me whole

Then you broke me down and took my soul

I often wonder how I could be so blind

Why is it that you never saw my light?

We shined oh so bright

I never saw the knife

I won't lie and wish you well

I can't say I'm happy you made her your wife

But I bid ado

And….

I wish you life
