Vanquished - consumed by regrets/regrettable
Shake hands with icy fingers - stay lit/belittled
Lead in hot irons - scorched by more fires/tangibles
Life flickered out – light of their face/dispersed
Shallow compliments/ground unhallowed
Life inside me buried – hearse/rehearsed
Fragments kindled/rekindled
New tale to unfold - nuptials postmarked/resale
To relive again – at night toss
