Coal

It’s almost 3AM in the breeze,

The room is filled with darkness

I thought of our memories,

Wrapped in sheets, I sank so deep;

your love still lingers on me.

I thought it ended long ago,

But still you haunt me, my lover

The way we used to be—

The way you used to call me—

My lovely

My beautiful baby

I miss you so deeply,

Your gentle touch, your warmth that fed—

my heart

my flesh

my soul

But you burned it all —

And now,

Our love is just a coal…

Like ashes flying in the wind

I remember it all still.

The day you walked away, my love…

I knew I had to find a way

To leave—

If only God will let me.
