Ashes

 

I stare at the cigarette

as the ashes burn

completely paralyzed

I look at myself

in third person

wasted potential

will I burn to ashes too?

---

the girl with the cigarette

sitting right across me

says she's ruling the world

holding it

taking deep breaths in

and out

---

when does it stop hurting

existence in itself

is a burden

when you're unseen

no one really knows you

no one ever will

---

alone you shall go on

or burn to ashes

not like the phoenix

you will not rise

you shall be buried

six feet under

---

an empty container

is never safe to exist in

feels just like a grave

honouring all the ghosts

that ever came by to visit

---

but how could an empty container

benefit the living?

the living wounded souls

turning slowly into ghosts

wasted potentials

---

isn't it cruel that

life still goes on?

The man that made the world laugh

took his own life

the moment he lost

what his soul was made of

he burnt to ashes

and so will you
