Her

I used to sit there,

beside the fireplace,

watch her dance around,

in her frock of pretty lace.

The warmth of her presence

was warmer than the fire,

being with her,

I just couldn't tire

of her lovely smile.

But now it's been a while,

It's been a while

since she sat in my lap,

like she used to,

back when she loved me.

Beautiful. I love how you painted such a beautiful picture. I can envision the room with the fire going. Her dancing around - then suddenly disappearing, leaving you alone in the room with nothing but the fireplace to warm you. Stunning write, Devesh! Love this! xo (:
