"After Flames ?"

image source

The flames of love are gone off
What happens next?

Will I be strong enough
To face this new phase?
Will I be strong to embrace it and understand
that it's another shade of love?

What is left of me
When they've all left me?
On this and more I pondered

So here I am
Standing today ready to embrace
what is left of me
after the hype and euphoria
that you and I
would be forever
is blown away like chaff in the wind.

Here I am
Closer to me
than ever have been;
closer to my own self:
Self aware

Here I am
Far from the chords
that once was stringed
Stringed and made music
Music we once danced to.

Here I am
Embracing what's left of me
Because y'all left me.
It brings me closer
closer to my core
The core of the being that I am.
The being I never knew I could become.

See some other beautiful poetry:
Smiling outside:dying inside
The things we left behind
Death of poetry
Tears of my Nation
Plateau of Everyone
I cried
