Ashes and Embers

I lit a match just to see you glow

Your shadow danced

But where’d you go

The room is quiet

But my heart’s too loud

The air is thick with what we’ve burned

Ashes fall

No lessons learned

Ashes and embers

Love in the fire

Smoke in my chest

You’re my only desire

Every flame dies

But I still remember

We’re ashes and embers

Ashes and embers

Your touch was warm

Now it’s a ghost

I chased the heat

But lost the most

The cold crept in where you used to stay

The wind it howls

It carries pain

But I’d light the match

I’d do it again

Ashes and embers

Love in the fire

Smoke in my chest

You’re my only desire

Every flame dies

But I still remember

We’re ashes and embers

Ashes and embers
