Last
Love
-by
Josh Stoner
Sitting
by the fire
I
remain frozen from you touch
Sparks
leap at my ankles
Threatening
to burn with their embers
As
my mind fades away
My
heart is out searching
Over
the snow burdened roof tops
Looking
for the love I lost
Or
rather, the love that was stolen
I
handed it to you freely
It
went to you looking for protection
And
now it sits among the ashes
With
the letters I’ve burned
A
memory of your smile flashes
In
my soul, for my mind is gone
I
hold onto life barely
Waiting
for my heart to return
But
I know you’ve taken it to be yours
And
it is no longer mine to have
My
eyes are closed and my breath fades
I
welcome the eternal rest
A
release from the pain you draped me in
Like
the torn rob I wear now
But
I must leave my heart behind
In
the cage you keep it in
Goodbye
my love, take care of my heart
