Ashes In the Sky
Searching through the ashes
Of the memory of my past.
I found a dying ember
Of a love I hoped would last.
Tried to make it glow again,
But no matter how I tried
It kept on getting colder
Till it finally died.
Now as I sift through
These ashes cold and gray
My mind starts to ponder
As to what I want to say
There once was a raging fire
Inside our bodies it did burn
Thought it would burn for ever
But now a lesson we did learn
Our passion that we had
Flowed both day and night
But there were some problems
That were hidden out of sight
Life styles that were different
Thought we could handle some
But when they raised their head
Just to many too overcome
So now the wind is blowing
Those ashes in the sky
Both of us now realize
That it's time to say goodby .
