Burnt

Bathing in the ashes
Of What the past has left behind
From a destructive blaze
That started as a flicker in my mind

The burnt up memories hold my gaze
I've been crying to these ashes for days upon days
Asking them to take me back

"TAKE ME BACK!" to when life was good
An idiot child
Who never understood
Take me back to my old ways

The past memories will agree, Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
My heart seems metallic
So my crying will surely make it rust
So easy to break, Not easy to find

And these ashes swooping around in my mind
It's like a desert storm
And I'm lost in sands called time

I sit and I wait
For someone to rescue me
And crack open Heaven's gate

Because I'm choking in these memories
And these ashes are Drowning me, like I'm now lost in the seas
It's a virus tearing me apart from within
It's a battle in my mind

But am I prepared to win?
