Burned...

Left behind,
The world is color blind,
Nothing but the ashes remain,
Cherished memories have burned into…
Nothing,

Evacuated,
Have forsaken me,
Have abandoned my every breath,
I am isolated, deserted…
In the void,

Nothing is left,
But the befriending grief
That holds my hand…
That drenches my soul,

Blinding me,
Darkness seeps through my veins,
Preventing me from seeing everything but…
The ashes that remain,

Incomprehensible,
My thoughts,
Confuse me,
I don’t remember…
Anything,

Surrounded by four walls,
I sit there contemplating the ashes,
Darkening my life,
Haunting my thoughts…
Living within me,

Memories have melted like ice,
The happiness has faded away,
My life…
Gone, gone forever,

My sadness reached to an eternity
My tears are immortal,
I am living a dark fantasy,
I see no reality…
I see nothing but lies,

Darkness has come to cover all skies,
 As weariness has come to me,
Closing my eyes
I was dead to life…
I fell asleep,


Ashes,
I see ashes everywhere,
I smell the smoke of burning
I feel…I recognize…
Something,

I see them,
The memories
I mean the ashes,
The burned memories…
That became ashes,

I woke up,
Frightened, I looked around me,
Seeing more ashes,
My glazing eyes stared…
At the memories,
I smiled…
