Embers

[LISTEN ON YOUTUBE]

My glass heart glitters in the dusk
Of an evening I’ll spend alone without you
My body trembles with outrage
Of betrayal I condemned upon you

Your light was fire in a winter storm
The last star in the waning night
I deserve every tear I shed
Knowing nothing can bring you back
I bathe in agony
Your pool of agony

I stammer a whispered apology
That I ever let you near me
I’m sorry
You didn’t know my destruction
And all the pain I could bring
To everyone I hold in my life

Your light was fire in a winter storm
The last star in the waning night
I deserve every tear I shed
Knowing nothing can bring you back
I bathe in agony
Your pool of agony

And as the dust settles around me
I look at the broken remains
The flames consume my being
I humbly welcome the pain
All the ash within the rain
And I try to set you free

Your light was fire in a winter storm
The last star in the waning night
I deserve every tear I shed
Knowing nothing can bring you back
I bathe in agony
Your pool of agony
