A Flame Once Burned

lingering embers lay smoldering out fingers searching through ashes rearranging, but always in doubt to find all of the matches re-piece all that matters the dull glow lingers, hanging around forcing my hands to shake scattering remnants, moving about escaping my baleful gaze forever til the end of days the lovely burn, or what so was thought has drained me of all my ways forever in flee, but finally caught shes caught me, and so i'll stay never to go away rekindling a fire, set it ablaze see how long its tongues last no, not yet, I'm not ashamed the warnings shall never pass our love has shaped the glass let sands pour, sinking in time extinguishing all the fire a grain for each second that i'm, slowly becoming the liar slowly becoming so tired and once more the flames have gone forever to never be anew the future in the smoke has shown of eyes so coldly blue forever without you..
