Here’s a poem from around 1994 about a love that has burned out. By the way, “ends” is slang for money.
Flame
I can’t believe the love has gone
We were together oh so long
And together we had feelings so very strong
What happened to the flame
That used to burn hot and high?
Why did our love have to die?
We were so close and tight
We loved each other with all our might
All though the day
And all through the night
We thought that with all the love we would be so tight.
Then, we started to drift apart
Maybe we shouldn’t have tried to keep our feelings in the dark
We started to think about our ends
And forgot to be friends
What happened to the flame
That used to be hot and high
Why did our love have to die?
