Today, you do not feel the same way,
I was convinced we had it good,
You have told me otherwise.
Yesterday, we were one,
You “matured” last night,
Now we are two,
Tomorrow,
I will
Mourn.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

The thread of time runs through this nicely, and it feels like it’s saying how quickly things can change- from inseparable to separated. The last three lines flow so well too 👏🏾
Best! I love it!
"Tomorrow I will mourn" is such an awesome line! The shock of something like this can rob people of their ability to properly mourn what was lost. And that self-awareness is a beautiful thing! Much to my shame, I put my last partner in this position. But sometimes it's best to move on, to save them hurt in the days, weeks, months, years to come. But no one should ever play with a heart, they're all made of glass. Easy to shatter. This poem is beautiful, even if I'm going to have to stare at the ceiling for a little while...
The unpredictability of people and why they change is so hard to accept!! Loved this though!!
It's so scary the way people change so suddenly. Loved your Nonet!
