Do you dare return?
Would you care to gamble ?
To see our fire burn again and view from another angle.
Each story has perspective.
Each participant, a view.
Both selfish, not reflective.
Would we, could we, start anew ?
Would you reconsider?
Take a different stance.
If we still love each other, then it’s surely worth a chance?
Our love was like a fire
Let’s relight the flame.
Somehow we lost each other.
Both of us, to blame.
Our footsteps in the sand.
The tears have washed away.
Let’s take a different path.
Let's make another day.
So I’ve laid it on the line
Told you how it is
The future’s in our own hands now
A chance we should n’t miss.
Worked my fingers to the bone
Climbed the high trapeze
But never found a home,
A place where I’m at ease.
Stolen nights together.
Times I can’t forget
Remain with me forever
But the bad times I regret,
So take a little time
Time to reconsider
Take a leap of faith
Jump into the river.

This flowed so nicely. Very well done. Thanks feel your pain.
Thanks
indeed, this be a worded flame
for that candle of hope we harbour
whilst we believe, there's still a chance
for an eventual: happily ever after...
a wonderful flow
and your poetic voice of sincerity was so relatable
thank you for sharing, dear poet
