FADING EMBERS


A heart once warm is now cold as ice,

The feelings that wandered, now escaped from sight.


The eyes that were lively, full of love and care,

Are dead as a doornail, carrying revulsion and fear.


Fear of losing, what is lost already;

One realization needed, to accept it lately.


Funny it seems to be a damsel in distress,

Knight to the rescue, no sir; but a heart depressed.


The mind is going feral and wild; now seeks to hide,

Leaving me in the consequences; created in its presence, alright.


I thought black was merely a color, symbolizing the dark,

Dark? - dark, how much dark?


Darkness that I see when I walk in night,

Or the darkness that ambles within me ghosting inside?


The promises that you made, all lies; of a maze,

Maze that you crafted with disgrace.


How naive I was to act, that everything's well,

Yet you did this, telling me it won't happen next.


They say every saint has a past and sinner a future,

But you were here, in the present; a conniving seizure.


A saint by appearance, a sinner by actions,

A fiend, in true definition.


We've been told, hazardous it is to play with fire;

Dangerous it is to play with water,

Why did nobody tell?

Evil it is to play with humans.


Can ice hurt?

Not more than a cold heart does.


Can ice burn?

Not more than fire does.


So why does a cold heart ignite me,

Burning me inside out, splitting me in two?
