Crescent Flames

A flawless night we huddle close
Flames from coal wish to entertain us
Speak to us whispering songs
Holding on to thoughts along
The gaps between where you have gone

And mindless games where we once played
Corroding sight increasing might
Of foes that face our forces tonight
Eager to fight and take our peace
Fortress raids to claim our space
We watch as they invade our minds
Brake through the lines of our own kind
Collapsing under the cloudy skies
We’ve failed to fortify in time
But I’d still rather try and die
Than hear the piercing cries nearby

Praying I’m not too far gone
Reminding me of that one song
Retreat that we might fight again
A sin i’m willing to confide in
Pretending I’m not the one to blame
I never knew just what to say
But I will love you just the same
Trust me this day, I’m truly here to stay

The cozy nights felt bitter still
Rocking chairs not holding still
But even though our circumstances
Saddens sap in saggy branches
Birds will sing before it happens
Bringing dawn for all the masses

Sunlight flowing far beyond 
Like glowing sparks we carry on
To warm the hearts of evening stars
Consoling scars generating heat
Soaking up drops of bravery
Holy flames sincerely changed me
I’m so blessed to have you baby
Right here next to me

Text me. Test me. 
I see you’re my destiny
You’ve always been the best to me
Except for when you breathe insanity
Slippery slides and dangerous tides
Grudges painfully reside
Hurtful hymns solemnly hide
Shrieking silently through the night
Changed by fire fierce design
Faithless factions threaten lives

Wreaking havoc to inspire
Broken hearts left to inquire
Forget tonight and doze to sleep
Like a symphony but asleep
Incredibly still next to me
I’ll be better, just you see 
I am yours forever
