The flames flicker silently,
While loneliness rattles violently.
This time, you pushed him too far,
By cutting open an old scar.
Tucked away deep inside,
Behind your stone walls you hide.
He grew tired of the sound
Of his fists hitting stone, pound after pound.
Why wouldn't you let him in?
Those blue eyes made you feel again.
What were you so scared of?
That you wouldn't be enough?
That road was once traveled,
Your heart and mind unraveled.
This time, you're not going that way.
Too bad, too late, he left yesterday.
Your cold heart was just too much,
For his soft warm fingers to touch.
You lost him to your insecurity,
Forever and always, only in your memory.
