The burning embers of love surround my heart, <br />still smouldering, but dying slowly. <br />Starved of oxygen, as i am starved of your love. <br />Gone are the flames of desire, that once lit up my soul within. <br />All that remains of a love that was everything, <br />doused by bitterness and disappointment. <br />Soon they will become cold and lifeless. <br />With time my heart will heal. <br />awaiting words of kindness and a gentle caress. <br />Once again to ignite the flames of desire, <br />only then will my heart be whole again.<br /><br />christopher murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-end-112/
