"I'm a river that no longer flows" - a friend

The fire used to burn so very brightly
My passion ran high.
Then changes I noticed so very slightly.
Made me feel I was a lie.

My fire burned, and now it's barely kept going.
I can feel it slipping away.
Slowly death follows, darkness consuming.
My fire burning astray

Barely kept lit by all that I can do
Burning myself so the fire can continue
Only if you understood what you already knew.
I'm the killer of all the happiness, not you.

But I can't help but feel
My fire isn't the only one in danger of going out
On both my knees I kneel
And ask you to tell me what you're thinking about

I can scream and I can shout
I will end up slipping away silently
I won't be missed or fussed about
I won't linger in your heart for eternity

It's going, going away
Second by second, a month fit into a single day
You stay where you stay
I shall move and go where I may

My fire burning so low,
It's playing with my judgment and toying with my heart
It reminds me how little I actually know
I need somewhere to start

I want to stay
Let the fuel run through my veins
Lay where I lay
Wash away the pain and the blood red stains

Let the fuel run,
Let the fire consume
Let’s burn it all and hope for fun
Then wait and anticipate for my doom


The author's comments:
What I thought turned out to be true. In the end my fire continued to burn, while her's burned was for another man.

being lonely is worthy of complaint! besides, there will be another girl, I'm sure of it. You deserve that hapiness after all that you endured.

im sorry what you had to go through. she only abused my heart, but wasnt strong enough to cause me phisical harm. hmm. i shouldn't complain so much. she lost the best thing that had ever happned to her by braking up with me and that is all the revenge i am going to seek. she will know pain when she meets someone who wont put up with her evil ways and/or get rejected by every one that gets to know her. im ready to move on and i have. other than the loney days, i have nothing to complain about.

no problem. i definitely understand your pain, because even I have kept on loving after an abusive relationship. perhaps your's was not abusive, but she abused your love, and that is even more painful, because at least nerves begin to numb after a while. deep, visceral things such as love cannot react well to abuse. I'm sorry for your pain, but I'm glad I could help! Keep on writing!

im too nice, to noble, to loyal to cath the attention of most girls. i did everything in my power to make her happy, and in the end, she just abused my love. so far, she has been my only. i dont know why i loved her, i think it was simply because i thought she loved me... ya, i think in the future i will find happyness, but at the present, nothing can stop the pain. like you, im flooding pages as well. my only escape from the pain is attention from others. but it has been a while and my emotions are finally dulling. Thank you for all you have said.

there will be other girls! i hate to see someone is such pain over something like this. my one relationship was awful too, and I flooded pages with it. I'm sure there are more to come for you too, but i hope somewhere in between the ink and tears, you find a girl that's definitely a keeper! :)
