A candle burns
As a lonely tear falls,
A page of lost memories
Is all she can recall.
A flicker of light
Illuminates the face
Of a once bubbly girl
Now a ghost in her place.
The pictures of memories
Aglow in her heart,
Fresh in her soul
From such a recent depart.
An elated smile
And a glimmer in his eye,
The beach where they laid
Off the cool summer isle.
A snowflake that lies
On top of his head,
The winter they met
With such a path ahead.
The pages are turned
Of lost memories indeed,
Floating in the pool
Of the tears of defeat.
