Falling Ashes

by Strange Angel   Sep 22, 2005


The blunt edge of a tactless knife
Opens up my wounds again
Just as they begin to heal,
I feel my world end
Again
And again

The bittersweet simplicity
Of thoughtless sympathy
Tearing at my soul
Fracturing my heart

Torment and heartache
I felt it all before
Just as I think I can bare it
You prove me wrong

Hot tears prick
From the eyes that cried so much
And into my oblivion
I decide to march

The choking loneliness
Begins to creep through my chest
The dawn brings nothing
But repetitive emptiness

The ache kills
Silently crying
Falling ashes
Slowly dying.
