..farewell..

I used to know someone who listened
She was too fragile to be around fire
She left

I used to know someone who had life in his hands
The miles between us froze
He left

I used to know someone as warm as a winter fire
She was too shattered by her energy
She left

I used to know someone who was as deep as the dark ocean
He was too scared of the surface
He left

I used to know someone so far
So close
So misunderstood
She left before I told her
That I knew she existed
That I carried her blood
Every day...

I used to know tens of souls
My heart was touched by hundreds of fingers
But they all shed
Like autumn leaves
Making place for a new ember...
