Poetry: Torch

I see the sun setting now

Behind the ocean

Stars come out

This spectrum of color

This vista surrounds

But it has no effect on me somehow

I put on a brave face

But I’m hurting inside

I say I’m un-phased

But that’s a lie

As summer now fades into winter

I’m guided by candle light

I hope it doesn’t snow tonight

My tears feel cold

Against the wind

I wish my heart turned to stone

The last we kissed

So I would be free

From feeling like this

Because with every beat

I think this is it

I see your smile in the skyline

And I feel it in the great design

Yours and my love will collide

As I wait for you by candle light

I hope it doesn’t snow tonight

Don’t leave in darkness

Our love is the light

Just below the surface

I’ll keep you in sight

I could never doubt you

I know that you’re on the road

So I’ll carry our torch on

Into the horizon
