For When I Was Lost

For when I was lost

I gazed into you 

 

Like the flame of a single candle

You lit up the darkness

 

Kept the beauty of light alive

But as I gazed too long

Your glow began to melt

 

And then the light went

Not in you, but me

 

Your soul within mine

The touch not of a burn 

The glint not of a flame

 

But the sleek of a mirror

To have loved how we loved

A flame so gentle

 

We are the trace of embers

A light so dim 

 

We are one

A fate so destined

 

We are absent

A presence so cold
