Gray Again

from Boys & Eros by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

I blow on the coals and they glow
This is how it’s always been
I lose my breath to keep the fire going…
When I stop they become gray again

When I stopped to catch my breath
You weren’t there to tend the fire
Now it has gone out
You let it die

Love is a fire that must be tended
It goes out or it grows violent
We burned through all we had to keep us ablaze
And now for us it’s too late

You kneel before this smoldered ash
In disbelief you call me back
But there’s nothing left to feed the flame
And if there were it wouldn’t catch

Love is a fire that must be tended
It goes out or it grows violent
You neglected my heart and now nothing remains
Except a pile of soot, cold and gray
