some flames flicker forever

 i only cried a little while 

stuck in moments with you

i wiped my eyes and told myself

there's nothing i can do


the anger i felt has lessened

and mostly i feel sad

time will tell the outcome

whether that's good or bad


the torch i've carried still burns in me

no matter how hard i may try

to extinguish that smoldering flame

it burns and it will not die


so i must accept this how it will be

until it burns itself out

but some flames flicker forever

of this i have little doubt
