Embers
You left me with these embers
Their soft glow the only means to stay warm;
You came back and fanned the flame
But then you left again.
I thought I might stay awhile
Try to stoke the fire back up
But I couldn’t do it alone.
So I left your embers in search of warmth.
I found another fire
I was warm for a time,
And I fought to keep it alive
But with time,
They left me alone with those embers too
So I’ve decided to move along
Start my own fire
Make it burn for myself.
Keep it warm for myself.
No other fires to “keep me warm”
No other embers to leave me cold.
Just my own fire.
Just my own flame.
