These Ashes
You were my end and my beginning
A place for me to stop and start
These ashes spill around me
As I rip myself apart
These ashes pour from within me
As I rip and tear
Shedding my skin isn’t so easy
But it’s a burden I will bare
And one I will share
Gladly so
I think being on fire
Is better than woe
As I sow seeds
Into these ashes
I hold my breath
Until the feeling passes
I am at one with myself
And yet I am many
Fore these ashes keep spilling
Slow and steady
As I rip out my throat
I cough up clouds of dust
And as I tear out my eyes
They are filled with lust
You were my end and my beginning
A place for me to stop and start
And now that you are gone
I can truly fall apart
I collapse within myself
I blow away with my last gasp
A sigh of relief
Free at last
