The Flame

I can still see your face every day
Your scent still sends a shiver down my spine
It's been three months since you walked away
The long months since I last called you mine

I can still hear the echo of your voice
I try to forget the taste of your lips
Trying to forget I wasn't your choice
Still, you continue to linger in my life

Having said this, I want you to know
Having lived this, I want you to go
I can see through you now
I can see past you now

I want to burn these memories in my mind
Burn them to ashes and leave them all behind
Burn these memories in my mind
Spread these ashes where no one can find

I want you to burn just as you burnt me
Burn just like I have since that day.
And I won't let it phase me.
Just like you don't every day.
