No More Light

Let the light from our love dim
till there is no more
like the stem of a candle burning
till it reaches the core

Like Christmas light in June
unplugged and stored away
or a light bulb that has blownout
and you're forced to throw it away

This love no longer gleams
and it no longer shines
this love is no longer yours
and is no longer mines

So I sit here writing this poem
thinking about what could've been
this love that never happened
will never happen again
