All I Have Left

All I Have Left

A Poem by I Am Svetlana
"

An alcoholic longing for his lover who left him

"
Bathed in the eerie light
of a single candle,
hushed by the snowfall,
he was aching to touch her.

Another life far from home,
something evil had been there
as he took a quick
sip from his flask.

If anyone had known
this huge secret,
he would have never
been meant for her.

Like watching a candle
die out, his words
crept into her mind:
"You're all I have left."
