They fall like Ashes

by Maple Tree   May 27, 2019


I label my tears
by the number
of times my heart
as broken.

Giving each moment
a name so that I may
never forget where
I've been; I dont ever
want to return.

I cant accept a sorrows
army; it follows me daily-
destroying what happiness
I have left, and soon I will
become ashes within a city
of ruin and you will forget

I ever existed.

    Your words speak loud.
    Labelling tears is a term I haven't heard before. Each one a dark moment, but etched forever.
