Suffering Through Ashes
Strong scent of ashes spread on the ground
Bits and pieces of a scorched heart, collapsed from rapid pounds
Beat after beat until the rhythm grew faster and a sudden burst of fire let out the torment of my pain
Flying down the earth where I started this senseless hopeful lie
Waiting for my heart to form back together again
You paid a big price for this construction
Too many pieces to mend
I guess there weren’t many easy exits to find
But now I am trapped by too many hurtful words and frowns
I feel it still
Like I’m waiting for something
But I go to see you
And I find nothing
You’re still in my head
Like I can still dream of you
But I go to think about it
And I remembered all that you do
Screaming for something I can’t comprehend
Hoping for something that is pretend
Wishing for something to come my way
Knowing maybe you’ll come back someday
But why do I want you
I don’t know
For some reason
This broken heart won’t let you go
