the fire still burns.....away everything.

I'm done
Sifting through our ashes
I've decided
To torch all that was salvaged
Better to be
A memory than a constant reminder

These smoke signals
Floating in the air
Scream for nothing
But the hope
Of never seeing
Your face again

One more thought
Of thanks for the pain
Appreciation for
The wake up call
That thrust me into reality
Of my own unhappiness

I never knew
Myself without you
Now through passed time
I can look
Into my own eyes

What I thought
Was all I lived for
Was sucking my soul
Straight from my own lips

Cold hands
That reached for me at night
Ripped away my own self
Leaving a crippled girl
Who looked to you
For breath

Never was I
To be caged in
Clipped wings
And muzzled mouth
Chained inside

These ashes
Will blow in
The winds
That change brought
And so the winds
Will bring more
Power to the fire
That burns away
All that's left inside
