My heart has places
Where the ashes scatter in the wind
Just like every dream
When I reached out
Yearning for your touch

My soul bears the scars
Endless shifting runes in ever-scorching dunes
Each grain of sand a story
Erasing every lie
And embracing my sorrow

My love burns the pyre
In the hearth of your content
It smolders there 'til the wind returns
Whisking it away
To where only shadows dare

Where do you go
Whenever I fall?
Dying all over again
Just to hear my name
Pass between your lips

I was there
Long before we met
I'll still be there
Long after you've left me
Alone here
Again
