Coal and Ember

Eyes wide and staring straight
At the glowing screen ahead
Too tired to retract-
Or to go to bed

It’s a battle of the firmest
The most resistant child will win
But the prize- unsatisfactory
At best results are thin

She’s looking back, but too far gone
There’s nothing left for her
She’s waiting oh so patiently
For the past that must defer

And you can read intentions
Buried in her soul
Looking past reactions
You can see a black-like coal

It carries such an ember
As the world has never seen
A bitter cold and bluishness
That should have never been

She’s pulling fast away
Into the fire you will create
But she’s leaving all the answers
Up to good old fate

and in the daylight i miss the nightmare- but deathly fear it in the dark of night

alright, i'll be honest, it's really complicated, it's also really simple. it's all symbolic and she needs to get away from this trap like love so she can be free for the real thing sorry i know that doesn't help but i tried.
