As the light fades and night takes it's duty
Hope does collect tinder and *******
she piles fuel onto the pyers
then with a clipper flick she lights the fires
She watches the flames take hold
they rush to consume eagerly
wood crackles, splitting and spitting
throwing embers into the cool night air
Her faith never wavers or strays
for her love will be back someday
and as the cloak of darkness surrounds her
she takes comfort in the fires glow
Sitting by the embers of carbon spent
a tear does run down her face
that painful ache in her heart
memories never to be replaced
In a moment of loneliness
Hope does start to sway and sing
with broken voice and trembling lips
her lamenting song is carried by the wind
She waits in solitudes cold embrace as the sky fills with stars
singing, my love will come back to me one day from so very far
