Burnt Out
“We were a perfect match”
The wind took the flame,
We didn’t make it.
“We had something good”
Until the fire went out,
And we were left in the dark.
“I love you”
I’ve never loved myself,
But damn did I love you.
“We were a perfect match”
Matches get tossed away,
After we burn out.
The wind took the flame,
We didn’t make it.
“We had something good”
Until the fire went out,
And we were left in the dark.
“I love you”
I’ve never loved myself,
But damn did I love you.
“We were a perfect match”
Matches get tossed away,
After we burn out.

Nicely written :)
I like how you used the match, flame, and dark to express the emotions involved. It's really beautiful and expressive! I wanted to show you a poem I wrote that has similar comparisons... that is, if you are interested :)
