Embers Burn Deep

In your pictures you’re smiling and laughing
I hope you found what makes you happy
I couldn’t but maybe he can

I like to think
That you will come back in a later chapter
And well write a story how we lived happily ever after

Always a dreamer
Tossing coins down this well
Praying for one to come true.

That’s just wishful thinking at best
But I must contest
The flame may be out
But embers burn deep

Do I ever creep in your mind?
Releasing memories of a thousand good times
Emotions erupt in your eyes
Love and hate
Cascading down your face
Beading off you checks and nose

Get these winds blowing
Get these embers glowing.
Strike a match
Cause a spark
Lets do it right
Let’s do it with a fresh start
