I wish I could wash away my sins,
Clean the slate,
Learn to begin again,
I find myself alone,
My flame turned to embers,
Forgotten,
Destined to remain,
A faint echo,
Not even a memory,
A soul lost forever………..

Embers are always ready to burst back into flame.

You need a rating system so I can tell you how well I enjoy your poems even when words fell me. It never seems appropriate to comment on them too much.

This is a short one for you, but it’s straight to the point. As with the first comment on this post, I agree…embers can be stoked and turned back into flames (and not forgetting that even if the embers die out, you can be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix!) Beautiful piece! (I said it, okay?)
