The love that once was,,,

In this ruins of what was once us I lie,

My heart is in flames for what's not worth having,

The object of my love is distant and fleeting,I fail to see a future that is mine to keep,

There's not one to love, pain has pulled me in it's embrace,tears have showered me with itself, I've lost myself in darkness,

I thought at such a time I would be painting my diary with a spectrum of rainbow flares,but I'm here staining it with hues of my melancholic tears,

I'm sinking into ashes of our love,I fail to understand how we reached this low,flashes of how we used to glow dance before my eyes,

Only that now the embers of passion have died leaving me with some bitter taste in my mouth,the flame of love that once burnt bright is but a distant memory headed south,

You said you and that I'm the only one,I guess it was just another joke and I missed the pun,

Maybe you're just but a beauty enchanting enough to beckon those a far, but devoid of aroma that would promise their stay.
