Ashes Fall
You are on fire in there.
I can’t understand really.
But, I wait with a prayer.
And begin to feel chilly.
My heart shivers cold.
It feels like it’s ice.
I can’t seem to be bold.
So I remind myself twice.
You are no longer here.
You are turning to ash.
I am growing with fear.
Death is always so brash.
But now you aren’t suffering.
Your pain came to an end.
Yet, this hurt is so blustering.
And I wish to defend.
Suddenly this day is long in the past.
I’m sitting with you, here in my lap.
I’m crying and begging for the memories to last,
but my mind and my thinking is all in a trap.
It’s a beautiful red and orange and pink.
The sky all around me, while the sun starts to sink.
I set you down beside me and watch the sun disappear.
Just like we used to when you were still here.
Soon the sky turns black along with the sea.
And I wish it was you alive here with me.
But it’s time to head back, so I pick up your urn.
I hold you to me close, while back home I return.
I can’t understand really.
But, I wait with a prayer.
And begin to feel chilly.
My heart shivers cold.
It feels like it’s ice.
I can’t seem to be bold.
So I remind myself twice.
You are no longer here.
You are turning to ash.
I am growing with fear.
Death is always so brash.
But now you aren’t suffering.
Your pain came to an end.
Yet, this hurt is so blustering.
And I wish to defend.
