No Desire Poem by Ray Hansell

Do you still feel the same
Late at night, do you call my name
Or has time dimmed the flame
Because you just don’t feel the same
What was once a burning fire
Are now just ashes that lack desire
Our flame of love that burned so bright
No longer glows in the night
It’s just a flicker of what use to be
Because you no longer love me
It’s always sad to see love die
Because someone is always left to cry
Or maybe we just refuse to see
No one wants to admit, it’s because of me
Why does pride get in the way
To keep us from saying things we should say
