Each year the fire burns brightly to signify a burning tradition
Each year the fire burns more brightly than before,
Must be something in the air
But the morning after
It was Ashes to Ashes

A heart of a Joker, A heart of an Angel
brought together under the oddest
of circumstances
Jokes and laughter and love was
all we knew
But the morning after
It was Ashes to Ashes

Three weeks of harmony
two days of hell was all we had
And one night, we entered the fire
together
It was Ashes to Ashes

A final farewell and tears
to follow as we said our
goodbyes
No one understood how much we loved
and cared for each other
But the fire Burned

The Fire burned within us still
I could see it in his eyes
But we lacked the courage or the
strength to realise this
Ashes to Ashes, year to year,
the fire still rages uncontrollably
within our hearts

It was Ashes to Ashes.

Very sad and well written.  I enjoyed this very much, welcome to passions!
