Broken Flames

In love we had been, married we once were,  
So sweet, a roaring flame that we had had,  
And a wonderful love that was so pure,  
I never thought that it would end so bad.  
I've never been fond of men my own age,  
It's older folk I've always fit in with,  
It was you who had brought me such courage,  
And for you I took every single breath.  
Little did I know, it would end like this,  
Just like it did for my parents,  
The whole thing had started with just a kiss,  
You changed, left our marrage in fragments.  
If only, in us, that flame could still burn,  
And that is the flame for which I do yearn.
