Glow

Tonight I need the glow from an open fire

I need the embrace of warm coals

Which blackens my mind

But sets fire to my desires

Tonight I don't wish to sleep alone

Upon a cold sheet full of the

Yesterday's memories

The warmth you left

lingers in corners

And whisper's my name

I look within

But find you gone

Long ago

When love was real

The fires grew strong

And the night's were full of the scent

Which only belongs to my heart

Tonight I search the grate for signs of you

Embers linger

There is a truth

That lies here

It feels so hollow

Tonight I need the glow from an open fire
