A distant memory recounts the days
We danced like shadows from the flame
Time could not erase your kiss
Only the taste of ash remains
This silhouette of sin
Burnt hollow from within
Like wisps of smoke so gently sways
The fragrance left on skin
Released from ember’s end
Like subtle notes cede to decay
In these dying days all hope shall fade away
A drifting reverie alights the way
My vision blurs within the haze
Wine could not erase your gift
Forever seared now is your name
This sweet caress of sin
Still burns me deep within
Like writhing melody I sway
The redolence of skin
With wounds that never mend
Like passing time becomes depraved
In these dying days all hope shall fade away
In days to come
I will mourn you
In days to come
I will join you
