Embers Await

A steady tick of the second hand
Spreads through the vast minutes
And hours of our unfound promise land.

A screaming match of throwing words
Stab to inflict lasting pain...
You are out of control,
I can't take this anymore.

Here it goes,
I use lethal silence to feed your fire,
Burning all our hopes and all of our desires.

Till only red hot embers remain
Breathing just enough to not suffocate...
Waiting for the next dry spell
To ignite back into flames - another episode to regret
Another drama to play
