Ashes Of Love Poem by Lovely Enchantress

I really dropped the ball that night
I should had written you a letter
Maybe it was all a misunderstanding
I heard every word you said, it was alot to process

It took me a long time to understand the meaning
I felt the cracks slowly forming around my heart
Alot of anger and truth

I wanted to be everything you needed
To say I cared deeply wasn't enough
I choked on my words, the ones you needed to hear
Like a deer frozen in the headlights

I never wanted to cause you problems and please forgive if I ever did
It was never my intention
I just wanted to be close to you
To heal our connection and what it was worth

Your feelings are like an ocean
Sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent
I dared to swim and got pushed back to the shoreline
You started mirroring me in ways

My love was never easy
I knew someone else stood in the distance for you
That love would make things easier
It was just something I knew
It felt like a sacrifice
Even if it pained me so

I was the one who fed fire with fire
I turned us into a dangerous blaze
Into the ashes of our love
