Douse me

Douse me

Use accelerant

To fan the restless flame

Dancing in the embers

Of yesterday

Sprightly it flickers

Twinkling against

The ageless sky

Reflecting blood red

Onto a blue moon

It will soon be over

Douse me

Use a bucket

Soak me to the skin

Drown the beast

Before it cries

For my life blood

To quench

Its raging thirst

For more than

Just remembrance

The dream is over

It lies

In the ashes

Still warm

From the burning

Sieve it out

Rake them through

Nothing will be found

Of any worth

You were never really there

In my heart

Is where the flame

Still burns.
