Unkempt Fire
It’s not too late to love you
Nor will it ever be
A glance would light the fire aknew
Look what’s become of me
Alas, you are no longer
A companion at my side
My love goes unrequited
You can always say I tried
Friendship is an effort
To stave my leaking soul
Though it offers no more comfort
To my heart that isn’t whole.
