We Are a Roman Candle

You are there with him. There is nothing I can do.
You say you must stay with him. His love for you will do.
What wonderful stolen time What little bits we had.
Our love together blossomed
A Roman Candle's Pad
Once hot exciting fire fast left
Us Charred and burnt out.

What of "us"?

Now is Never, Now has only past
Now has no future Without you I am less
You tell me to go forward You tell me to move on.
Where is a space in question
Here is the space my heart festers For you.
Here I stand alone Here is time stands still
Nowhere is going fast or slow,
You were You are My reference where time and space made sense.
And now I am just plain and lost.

What wonderful stolen time What little bits we had.
Our love together blossomed A Roman Candle's Pad
Once hot exciting fire fast left
Us Charred and burnt out.

What of "us"?

My love for you won't do?

You are there with him. There is nothing I can do.
You say you must stay with him. His love for you will do.
