Un-burning Fire

Trying to unlove you is like asking a fire to not burn, an impossible task, yet one my heart must learn.
Each thought of you flickers, a flame deep inside, memories like embers, they never subside.
You were my rider, my partner in the dance, In every whispered secret, in every stolen glance.
Now distance divides us like shadows in the night, yet your echo lingers, like the moon's soft light.
I wander through the daylight, your presence my guide, through fields of our laughter, where once we would stride.
Now the wind carries whispers, your name on its breath, a haunting reminder of love and of death.
I try to forget you, to silence the song, but the melody plays on; it feels so wrong.
I gather my courage, I build up my wall, but with each passing moment, I stumble and fall.
Like ashes to the cosmos, I'm lost in the sky, you painted my world, now the colors run dry.
In dreams, you are dancing, your smile shining bright, a  ghost in the labyrinth that keeps me up at night.
The sun sets on memories, the stars blink awake, yet the warmth of your fire refuses to break.
Though I try to unlove you, the hardest of roads, your spirit remains, in the weight of my codes.
I carry your shadows, they weave in my mind, In every heartbeat, your memory is twined.
What once was a passion, now lingers in pain, a testament to love that will always remain.
Trying to untangle what's woven so tight, Is heartache disguised in the dullness of night.
Yet somehow, through the sorrow, I learn to set free the truth that unloving you means loving me.
