Sitting at the fireplace
Sparks are flying by 
The darkness is coming over me 
On wings black as the night 

I have my head up in the sky 
The air is filled with smoke
Therefore I'm breathing heavily 
And hope is a sweet lie 

The burning heat 
Of glow and flames 
The passion in your eyes 
You seem to live 
So happily 
Please tell me
Why can't I? 

And in a row of late-night talks 
The ashes became cold
The glow is gone 
The fire's out 
The smoke is blown away 

And even though the world is dead 
Our memories are alive 
We'll be forever sitting here 
Singing songs from long forgotten times 

* * *

When all the thoughts are taking over us
Let's meet here
Cause when we are sitting at the fireplace
We can pretend that everything is fine

71 parts Complete Mature

Ash stains on my jeans you're still on my mind cherry on my skin you're still there pain doesn't block you out freezing hands shaking body withdrawals from your warmth butt burning my fingertips burning my lips dying to feel you again strike the lighter repeatedly as it goes out had it in my head that'd be us inhale the poison your scent it's toxic yet everywhere hold it in least I did that part right never took a moment of you for granted exhale the best as the smoke leaves I realise you did too like it's the first time all over again close my dreary eyes and repeat it all over again Book 1: https://www.wattpad.com/story/171509098-the-devil%27s-love-ridden-abuse-poetry
