Ashes

Irritation consumes her soul, 
Hatred clouds her judgement,
The time has passed,
She has failed,
The corpse of her enemies,
Lie at her feet,
But she was too late, 
Comrades, friends, family, 
Lost before her eyes,
Vanished into the nothingness,
She is overwhelmed,
Her sorrow and grieve rooting her feet,
She does not see the flames,
She does not feel them,
Licking her flesh like a lover,
Turning her into ashes
