COLD FIRE POKER

Do you know what you are?
You are like a cold fire poker
for a coal of embers.

Like a bucket of ice water
to douse the flames of my passion.

You walk out of the room, your
shoe heels clicking softly on the floor
and turn off the light.
And there I am,
left alone in the dark, again.

Coal of embers actually means a pile of coal embers, but oh well!
written during 2D gas paper, maybe March of '07 or something like that.
