Ashes to Ashes. . .

A wary heart has found its way here,

to this place of destruction,

what once was has gone,

fallen and died,

become ugly and disfigured over time,

a love that was bright,

now dark and decayed,

bringing only pain to all who touch it,

changing happiness into sorrow,

the past was only an illusion,

allowing others to believe the lie,

to become engulfed in the shadows of the distant truth,

but a raging inferno has shed light on the facade,

forcing the truth into the open,

the vile lies are exposed,

layed out for all to see,

and the fire licks through the wall of the dying heart,

searing it,

leaving the broken soul writhing in anguish,

the chared remains of a once great relationship,

the ashes that dance in the wind,

all that remains of the love that once was,

so much emotion reduced to ash in as instant,

nothing can revive it now,

it is carried away on the breeze,

lost in the wind,

ashes to ashes,

dust to dust,

what once was is now forever gone.
