My Former Flame

My fire used to 

Burn bright

But only with you

You brought my fight

 

My spirit burned

With a passion so strong

My inner voice

Sang it's own song

 

Feisty, young girl

That is who I was

Who I am

Will give you pause

 

Back then was

Once upon a time

Back when giving up

Was considered a crime

 

Now a silhouette

Put back on the shelf

A empty shell of

My former self

 

You lit my flame

But now you're gone

Now every morning

I have a black dawn
