Fires Last Life

Gray vague sweet memories plaguing me like a darkened fire that is slowly 
diminishing, burning flames flickering in the shadows trying to hold onto that last 
piece of undampened wood, it's slipping away fighting within a cold eerie hand 
pulling it deeper into the depths of eternity

Kicking grasping not completely comprehending the absolute of the situation, not 
willing to change in that stubborn way that objects do, kicking and screaming for 
you to breathe life inside this dying creature as it fades deeper into that dark 
abyss known as life and this is the cycle that remains forever unchanged
