Crimson Blood, Ashen Memories

Crimson blood falling on Ashen memories
Setting ablaze my disdainful thoughts
Running away from the sound of my own blood sizzling on coals as dark as my heart
I run in vain
I realize that now
The smoke
IT LINGERS IN MY CLOTHES
IT HAS SETTLED IN MY SKIN
IT HAS PERMEATED MY MIND
I RUN FOR NOTHING
I can only dream of the day… no…
I yearn for the day that someone will catch me
And wash these Ashen memories off of me with their Love

But that day will never come
Why would I dare force someone to tread through the hot coals for me?...
I will forever stay cold, dark, and unwanted
My heart… what’s left of the charred ashes at least
Can only lust
I will never know true love
I return to my Ashen graveyard
Warmed by the now black blood on the Crimson coals
