The words would have been no colder <br />If your tongue was made of ice <br />Though the wound seems nary older <br />It has healed over twice <br />The scar burrows ever deeper <br />Down into my heart <br />As the path grows ever steeper <br />My mind slowly falls apart <br />All from but one sentence <br />All from but one breath of air <br />From here no more repentance <br />Only darkness and despair <br />The words would have been no colder <br />If your heart was made of snow <br />Though this fiery heart but smolders <br />Yet still the embers glow<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/still-the-embers-glow/
