The Unforgotten Flame

Though your gaze may drift away,

And my presence brings no joy,

My love for you will ever stay,

A silent, ever-burning ploy.

I'll watch you laugh, I'll watch you dance,

With others, not with me,

But still within my heart's expanse,

Your memory will always be.

Though cold your words, your touch withdrawn,

My heart with love will overflow,

For even though you push me on,

My love for you will only grow.

Like stars that shine through darkest night,

My love will guide you ever true,

And though your path may not feel right,

My constant love will see you through.

So let me stand in shadows deep,

And guard you from all harm and ill,

For though you choose another's sleep,

My love for you will conquer still.
