Author: Keppiehed

Warnings: none
Word Count: 100
Prompt: “bring the fire”
A/N: Written for #2 mini challenge at Brigits_Flame.

Leave the shoes there by the door
Leave the clothes where they might fall
Leave the things all on their shelves
We don't live here anymore.

Walk as ghosts through memory
places, times, can you not see?
I' m not the one you thought I was
Since we walked through that door.

I can hear you cry at night
Late in the dark you dream alone.
I lie there with my eyes still dry
I'll never feel again.

So bring the fire, bring the pain
Bring the last of dignity
We're burning more than truth tonight
Nothing lives here anymore.
