I watched your affection turn to ash
It bust to flame in your eyes
Smoke sliding through your expression
Dilated pupils and teary lashes
Melding with the rain
Water slithered through the cracks
Across your granite hands
Droplets pooling in the earth
It drenched your garments
And your shoes
Leaving you soggy
On your long trek home

I watched your affection turn to ash
It bust to flame in your eyes
Smoke sliding through your expression
Dilated pupils and teary lashes
Melding with the rain
Water slithered through the cracks
Across your granite hands
Droplets pooling in the earth
It drenched your garments
And your shoes
Leaving you soggy
On your long trek home
