After the FIre

Written after I burned my house down with a single candle lit for ambiance.

After the Fire by KDRouse c. 2012

I did a lot of living in this room
It witnessed my devotion and questions of existence
How I could go the distance in a gamut of emotion
I did a lot of living in this room

I did a lot of living in this room
I loved you in the shadows dancing from the fire
We stayed up 'til all hours and never did feel tired
I did a lot of living in this room

I did a lot of living in this town
                                    Learning variations on a heartache                                                       Standing at the crossroads
                                    How far it is to be undone                                                                       Fighting how the river runs
I did a lot of living in this town

Sighs inside the minutes
While away the hours
Rhythm of existence
Wise and waning powers
I did a lot of living in this room

I did a lot of living in this room
