My world has changed,
There’s a scar on my heart.
Yes, you can go now
You’ve done your part.

I wrote the end of our story
Now I’m starting my own,
And for once the end
Maybe isn’t unknown.

While I’m scrawling my words,
You’re making your rounds.
I try to capture details,
Like the way it sounds

When rain hits the pavement,
And a candle’s blown out.
Kind of like I was,
But I’m burning now.
