|
Embers and ashes, sweet-smelling dust are all that remains of a fire that burned beyond my control |
|
Embers and ashes, softened by tears |
|
A bitter reminder of the leaping flames in the depths of my soul |
|
Embers and ashes, a token sacrifice |
|
A visitation and leave-taking |
|
A silent demand |
|
Embers and ashes, irrational longing for just belonging to someone |
|
I don't understand |
|
Embers and ashes, transparent schemes |
|
Haunting dreams recur to hide my way to guide my way |
|
Embers and ashes, a book of sighs |
|
A volume of highs, gone in a day |
|
Embers and ashes, drift into the past |
|
Float on a breeze, just out of my grasp |
|
Embers and ashes stain my bed |
|
Nobody's dreams were fit to claim |
|
Your face stains my every dream |
|
Only the embers and ashes remain |
