ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE ASHES.

Updated: Nov 16, 2022



My insides are burning

like a forest on fire,

It burns and burns

until there is nothing left to be burned.


My beautiful green leaves

are now powdered black ashes

that fly with no purpose,

black ashes that go where the winds take them.


My big brown trunk now

a lifeless piece of soft, weak, unwanted substance.

A substance with no sustenance,

like my meagre nonchalant existence.

The long branches that once

bore my beautiful green leaves,

now reduced from a healthy bunch

to a rotten, diseased, and weakened few.


Like this brutally burned forest,

all that's left of me are ashes.


The fate of every tree, every plant,

and

every animal in this forest

was to burn to ashes in the flaming fire.

A fire that was lit in the heart of the forest,

a fire that consumed and swallowed all in its way,

a fire that knew no mercy,

a fire that killed.


Like this brutally burned forest,

all that's left of me are ashes.

Ashes that fly with no purpose,

ashes that go where the winds take them;

the most real remains

of a soul that burned to death.
