Funeral Pyre

By Petra Creffield



Funeral Pyre Time to put you to bed Drown the dream in pure vodka Before it eats me alive Let go I know Is the only way to go Smoke it away The ways we could play Tomorrow has to be another day Turn over this leaf Look underneath For a new way to be A way free Of this wish For something more Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Death to this lust Is long overdue Know now that you’re Never gonna knock at my door Why did take me so long To see it was all wrong For the curtain to fall From my rose tinted eyes This poem is your funeral pyre Each word a flame Under your skin And the dreams of within Will no longer live in my mind Use this epitaph to grind Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Death to this lust Is long overdue I see now that you Never wanted me Your kisses false promises This fool fell for But not anymore A Georgie Peorgie for sure My fickle heart believed Stupidity grieved Alone in her bed For too many damn days And you knew But didn’t come through You never cared You never dared Take this chance To dance my dance Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Death to this lust Is long overdue Well fuck you and goodbye I am worth so much more Than you will ever know We could have had a wild ride But you had to hide Hold onto your bitterness snide Stay on your cloud boy Next time don’t be so coy When a woman offers her heart True love is hard to find Keep this in mind As you travel your road Goodbye false friend I guess this is the end I will no longer pretend That you are anything more Than what you always were Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Death to this lust Is long overdue Petra Creffield Under A Full Moon 2007

    Thanks - i really enjoyed writing this one, if only it was that simple though, that a poem could set me free from the yearn for someone that i can't have, did help though :) Px
