The Embers

by capturedelight   Jul 26, 2010


There is a path to follow.
There is a path to make.
I will be my future, my fate I will take.
I did not see what lay before me.
Walking with gold upon my face,
I loved you like the Earth loved the sun.
Yet you burned me and tainted my flesh.
I will not heal for this is certain.
My skin is a deeper shade all that is spent after you left me.
Dying in the drought you will not let me be.
Feeding on my scorn forlorn,
You scorch my insides leaving me breathless.
You take what was not yours to be had.
My humanity my shame,
Is nothing but a foolish game.
The fool.
The day.
I cannot escape.
You have turned a shade of Grey,
No longer sparkling.
Please.
You cannot stay.
