My lantern of love

Burn for me still (Lantern light challenge)

By Calvin LondonPublished 12 months ago β€’ 1 min read

You are the lantern of my love

Always burning bright.

You provide me with guidance

Every day and every night.

A love that comes in silence

It burns only with your love.

‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯

Lantern of my love

Always brighter than a star

All your feelings and emotion

Lighting up my life wherever you are.

I feel your love and devotion

Always burning brightly from afar.

‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯

Lantern of my love

You don’t seem to burn as bright.

I am confused and troubled by what I see

And now you are just a flicker in the night

Have you lost those special feelings for me?

Is this why your brightness is going out?

‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯

Lantern of my love

You once shone so bright

But now there is only a ghost of a flame

Alone and in darkness tonight.

In tears, I cry your name

My lantern of love has no flame.

‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯

Till next time,

Calvin
