Down To Ashes

I blew out the candle of your flame
bowed my head in silence
as I let the darkness chase away your breath
Because darling I can still taste your kisses on my tongue
they linger on my skin
like little tattoos your love
is still etched just under the flesh

I won't let this pain eat me alive
I am not a dish left to rot in the garbage
so exquisite the taste you left to waste
someone else would kill just to have me
and others would kill me so none could tear me away

Last night I threw a coin into the wishing well of fire
Now I'm dancing with the flames

ashes to ashes
bones and dust
tears on eyelashes
dawn turns to dusk

ashes to ashes
bones and dust
fine liquor stashes
to drown this lust

I won't let this pain eat me alive
so exquisite the taste you left to waste…
find someone else to satisfy your hunger
then come back to me
come back so you can lie to my face
