Looking up at the sunset
Smeared across the canyon sky
I know I'll never see the sun
To hear it sigh goodbye
The night yawns lazily across
The hills, the trees, into my eyes
I confront my demons by firelight
At least, I will surely try
Lit on both ends like a twig
Trying, dying to be free
I feel the warmth kiss my skin
But my lonely fingers still freeze
Uninvited but not yet allowed
I sit like embers in the dark
Waiting for your kiss of life
To fill this pit with sparks
No other whisper shall ever do
No other hands have know enough
I sit like embers in the dark
Hoping my fire would be enough
