Old Flames

Dying ember know your place,
That spark is no longer,
Lost your will to flame.

Time's curse,
Your hesitance,
He was there when you didn't want him.

Old flames die,
It's for a reason,
To be something new and not the same.

Old flames die,
You had your season,
It went and so should your feelings.

To you, he's safe...
That's why you linger,
Unable to accept our love.

What happened to being a friend?
The past is set,
You cannot mend.

Walk with maturity,
Be your ashes,
Don't look back.

Exist without regret.
