Heart Ashes-
Oh! My heart no longer flesh;
It has distressed;
From dirt, dust to ash;
Nothings left;
Heartbeats not;
The flames remain;
My heart beats not;
I've been silent;
My heart on fire;
From dust, flesh, burnt up;
Lump of clay no longer soft;
Be stilled heart now dried up;
Beats no longer not;
My bleeding, heart no longer flesh;
Alas now once soft tissue burns to ash;
