There is a glowing ember

There is a glowing ember,
that will never quite lose it's spark,
the one you wanted to kill,
but never managed to.

There is a glowing ember,
it just keeps me going,
it won't let me let go,
so I'll hang around a little longer.

There is a glowing ember,
it just won't spark into a fire,
it just glows, and glows,
leaving me in between.

There is a glowing ember,
it's not fit for heating anyone,
it just won't die,
and it is just giving a sad little hope.

There is a glowing ember,
holding on to the hope,
the hope that someone will stoke it,
and let it burn with a passion again.

There is a glowing ember,
that stubbornly hangs on,
the one you tried to kill,
it just leaves me in between.
