Ashes to Ashes.....dust to dust

140 54 31
                                    

Pieces of wood, side by side

bit of love on top

that was us


Stroke the match, twice

red-orange is all I saw

flames

they were truly aiming for the stars


I watched as they rose and fell

magic, pure magic

Before we knew it

we were engulfed by the fire

blazing

you had the ignited the fire in me


Burning, free souls

brought together by the fire within them

happiness, pure joy

blazing

I had ignited the fire in you


Time was never on our side

eventually our fire died

two good pieces of wood,

finally burnt out


I was lost

darkened were our skies

Our love lost in a single flame

couldn't believe my eyes


Fire's gone

                             hot greyish ash

                            one dead match

 smoke

                                         sign of defeat

it was over


Ashes were back to ashes

dust back to dust

lovers back to strangers

everything had ended.
