Embers

A blackened cloud of smoke
A fire is/ that’s dead
Once brutalised, now only ashes spread
They don’t feel anything
What’s ash can never burn
Deepest Wounds all covered up
But carved in bloodlines to stay
Hardly to fade away

Watching darkness swallow your fire
Underneath, the embers, remaining inside you

Catch your breath
Get up again to fill an emptiness
Burning into your chest
It’s getting hard to see
Cause the fire lasts
Until there’s nothing left

A blackened cloud of smoke
A fire is/ that’s dead
Once brutalised, now only ashes spread
They don’t feel anything
What’s ash can never burn

Watching darkness swallow your fire
Underneath, the embers, remaining inside you

So close to fade away for good
Covered up but unsecured
To pass away as firewood
Fade to black

A fire getting darker
Underneath, the ardor

Watching darkness swallow your fire
Underneath, the embers, remaining inside you
