Fire To Ashes
You ignited a blazed ember in my soul when you left-
Now I am living in my yesterday’s alone and bereft.
There are shades of grey and nights of pure hell-
Was it your misery or insanity? I could never tell.
Bestowed with sunshine, you held the twilit moon-
Left with such ease; gone too far and way too soon.
I hear you in the Heavens and still feel your adoration,
but things are not the same since you left with complication-
Sinister self-execution seems to have been the correlation.
If only your choices were in the depths of my being-
Maybe my eyes wouldn’t be blind without my mind seeing.
You went from fire to ashes all in a single moment-
Now I’m left cleaning up your mess lost in your atonement.
You fueled a lover’s quarrel and left a deep red stain-
Now I’m living in but a distant memory, from death I must refrain.
I feel you in the breeze leaving with such ease,
I know you more than me; I’m grieving, no one sees-
I sense you in white lilies and in the whisper of the trees.
I needed you more than breath as I suffocate and bleed-
For you and only you are the one person that you freed.
You ignited a blazed ember in my heart when you died-
Now I fear all my tomorrow’s…why sorrow did you hide?
