Cold—He Vanished, Leaving My Mind Aflame

Cold—He Vanished, Leaving My Mind Aflame

Cold—he vanished, leaving my mind aflame.
He pulled my heart through coals of burning dirt.
My tongue blind did smolder against his shame.

His absence stormed hard; I was not the same.
I stood burning, freezing, wrapped in deep hurt.
Cold—he vanished, leaving my mind aflame.

Upright but dumb, I shuddered at the claim
Of this savage need I could not skirt.
My tongue blind did smolder against his shame.

I tried to move, but grief had left me lame.
He did not speak my name; I stayed alert.
Cold—he vanished, leaving my mind aflame.

My flashing life played hopeless in his game.
I knelt before the longing held inert.
My tongue blind did smolder against his shame.

Urgent praying, my soul’s fire overcame—
At long last, Thy Divine Love did convert.
Cold—he vanished, leaving my mind aflame.
My tongue blind did smolder against his shame.
