Ember - Cocoon

She has a metal heart behind an angel face

Sets the knife and fork by her dinner plate

Making sure everything’s in it’s proper place

A second glass of wine she wouldn’t tolerate

She listens to the rain and almost remembers

Back onto the days when she was tender

Kindle the ember

Another day alone and reaching cross the bed

It takes her by surprise the dream that’s in her head

Her body feels a need she didn’t know she had

There’s someone to call but can’t do that

She listens to the rain and her heart remembers

Back to kinder days when he was tender

And fights the urge with everything that’s in her

Kindle the ember

She usually wears her jeans but maybe needs a dress

Who knows when she might meet someone to impress

She runs into the rain and looks for cover

That stranger there might someday be a lover

There’s a fire inside that might recover
