Where Frozen Embers Still Burn
I sat down to see
my past looking at me
My soul had a yearning
for embers still burning
My eyes grew wet
from years of regret
The love that I seek
leaves my heart weak
The father I needed
with pleas left unheeded
Take away the pain
left in his name
Wash away the memory
of the fear he gave to me
Frozen in time
with his horrendous crime
