The Borrowed Flame
The candle of her life, now a flickering glow,
A treasure lent, not mine to forever own.
Her breath, a verse the heavens stole,
A melody engraved upon my soul.
I begged the stars, "Let her stay!" in vain,
Yet they whispered, "Love is born to give pain."
She was life’s gift, and I, the debtor below.
