Ashes

Folder: 
FINAL

There is nothing now.

All that we strived for,

destroyed by the envy.

The remains, remain ashes

held in my hand.

I throw the ashes down,

they fall to the ground.

Bringing and end

to this aberration.

I loved you.

The ashes turn,

red embers stir,

the memories incur.

The pain is forgiven,

we sweep up the ashes.

But all that remains is the envy.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

The concept was written in 1999, but I rewrote this recently.
