Dusk 'Til Dawn

Was it the end of the beginning,

or the beginning of the end?

when we met for the first time.

We were two candles burning bright

burning all through the night,

It was the end of the beginning,

from dusk 'til dawn.

Was it I who loved you more,

or did I love you less?

when we said our final good byes.

We were two candles in the wind

as moonlight softly kissed our skin;

It was I who loved you more

from dusk 'til dawn.

I pretended you were mine

in the arms of another time,

holding hands in the mist of the rain.

Two candles burning bright

as tears flowed down the wick of night;

I pretended you were mine

from dusk 'til dawn.

Love can make us believe things that aren't real.
The self-inquisition and the realisation in this work are as painful as each other. There is no solace in the truth. Sad poem I thought Rose. Very well written.

Even if I try hard to point out any mistake I can't. Its amazing. Beautifully written. When you read, you know what the poet wants to say. You can feel the emotion penned.

An endearing and poignant poem beautifully phrased. I am reminded of eliot saying "in the end is my beginning." We wonder where it all went wrong and how something so passionate and powerful can ever be extinguished. And yet we all know it happens, leaving us to muse and wonder...from dusk until dawn.
