The Flame Of Hope

Why is it that everything good,
Slowly fades away?
Once you experience something enlightening,
Each experience after, takes away more life,
More strength, and air.
Eventually the candle burns out.
Is there ever a way to relight the passion?
Is there a way to get back what you both felt?
Even if there is, is the wick too short to catch another spark?
Maybe you can only keep on trying,
Creating a new spark each time you want the feeling
Only knowing that you will be disappointed in the end.
So why do i try to continue what won’t come to be?
If i know all this why do i waste my time?
But is time really wasted when the light goes out?
If some of the passion to go on survives,
Even if it’s hidden on both sides.
I guess each one must have hope.
But life will go on with or without unity,
Should the flame be put out forever,
Or hidden internally?
