Emotions Into Ashes
I kissed the darkness a farewell in spite
Was always there when I bed goodnight
Comfort of warmth, now tenderly out of sight
My sorrows shredded before dawn’s light.
To lose the weight of harboring fears that barricade
It’s time now to defuse and quell that fiery brigade
allowing my tears to flow like a cascade
dousing the emotional fire into embers till they fade
