August Fires (from 12 years ago)

You made me a promise in August,
But you broke it to keep one with the devil,
You must have believed you were doing the right thing.
I can't see you letting a thing like that take control of your life...
But you... You had to have more...
You said you'd never leave me.
You did'nt you were taken away!
Sometimes I blame myself,
Maybe if I had loved you more?
You used to bring flowers to my recitals,
but you don't show up anymore...
I'd like to believe you're there in spirit,
You had so many dreams,
Even in the end...
And you helped me realize so many of my dreams,
Even though you only got a glimpse of yours.
I understand you never could have been content here...
You always wanted more even before your pact with the dark...
You said you'd love me always that August...
Before your world exploded...
You used to bring flowers to my recitals...
Who would have thought someday I'd bring flowers to yours?
I don't believe in ashes, or dust, or earth, I don't like powder,
You had more than enough for both of us...
And now, I have noone to bring me flowers when I go...
I watch you now in anger born out of love...
Swirling in the flames,
I know you'll end up in flower pot,
When August fires surrender you..... "KK"
