Girl In The Fireplace

Slighlty sad poem...

We are alone,
In this dark and empty place,
You and I in the gloom,
With the girl in the fireplace,
Watching our every move.


When it's just me and you,
And the girl in the fireplace.
And as we look at the stars,
We won't see her face,
Behind the flames.


As from the ashes we rise,
So our fingers reach the skies,
And the clock on the mantle brakes,
A penance for our crimes,
For our mistakes.


When I'm alone,
In this dark and empty place,
I know that you're here,
Behind the ash and the flames,
The girl in the fireplace.
