Your Legacy

A handful of trinkets all that remains of the life you lived. Everything you touched 
cherished and did lost forever to mildew and decay. Just a tiny fragment of yesterday 
they are all locked away in a back ward dungeon. Sitting here realizing the legacy you 
left behind is nothing more than ashes, dust and a memory in my mind. The legacy you 
left behind.
