Ashes

And as I held that fated light in final warm embrace
She vanished from my arms; against my chest I clutch a space
Alone forever now I fear, no smile so sincere
To greet me shall I find again; I only find these tears
That fall and break against the ground, the glass, the grass, the stone
And while I shiver as I sweat I find that I'm alone
Thus in my weakest moment I'm deprived of her caress
A touch that would enable me to firmly walk with death
I cry and reminisce and wish that life could heal its ill
But know the light I've come to love in future fire spills
A liquid ruby fire pouring forth without remorse
And should my eye catch gleam of these infernos set by fates
I broken would become; to pyre I myself would force
As black dust swirls I'd hold her in eternity's embrace
And ashes of the present fly with embers of the past
As I would sing her name and light would ripple, fading black
