Moving remove glyphicon inside input text box

Question

I want glyphicon-remove to be placed at the right end of input text box, here's my code-

*{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
  position: relative;
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
  height: 100vh;
}
.content{
  text-align: center;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
}
.fill_text{
  width: 20%;
  height: 42px;
  background-color: #DDD;
  border-radius: 20px;
  font-size: 20px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 5px solid #E35F14;
  margin: 10px auto;
  outline: 0;
  position: relative;
}

  <div class="content">
  <input type="text" class="fill_text">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
  </input>
  </div>

I am setting the position of input text box as relative and I have tried by giving the position of the remove icon as absolute, but that's not working. Could you tell me why that's not working?

No elements are allowed inside <input> elements.

add this CSS

  .glyphicon-remove{
      position: absolute;
      top: 50%;
      right: 30px;
      z-index:10;
    }

*{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
  position: relative;
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
  height: 100vh;
}
.content{
  text-align: center;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
}
.fill_text{
  width: 20%;
  height: 42px;
  background-color: #DDD;
  border-radius: 20px;
  font-size: 20px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 5px solid #E35F14;
  margin: 10px auto;
  outline: 0;
  position: relative;

  
}
.glyphicon-remove{
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  right: 30px;
  z-index:10;
  cursor:pointer;
}
