Burning Love
By:Lynn Burdette
Coals burning in a fire,reminds me of love I once desired.
Burning,burning I will not forget, the love
I experienced I came to regret.
My heart did hurt at the end of our road
An ache I never wanted sowed.
The pain I felt in my chest, was very strong I must confess.
The words we said, the things we'd done, I only wish had never begun.
So the flames in my soul will one day go out
I know it for sure without a doubt.
Because those flames will then be replaced,
by somebody's touch, love and embrace.
For now I will wait by the fire, with the burning of the love I once desired.

Hi, Lynn, I decided to re-read it before I went to sleep!

I think that 'sowed' should be 'sown' - not sure I could be wrong.

'the things we done' I guess that could either be 'the things we did' or 'things we'd done'.

And spelling 'dought' should be 'doubt'

Good night! Again, great poem!
