Echoes

Ashes dust off my twisted spine  
And haunt the misery in me  
Loving memories on my mind  
Death suffocates the breath I see  
I slowly escape from the then  
My thoughts all tossed and turned  
Tears wet my remains and descends  
My soulless body dried and burned  
The echoes in the silent air  
Race through her tortured mind  
By her side she walks I am there  
Hoping again her love I'll find  
Her light brown eyes look into mine  
A reflection of our lives past  
Our lips again kiss the first time  
Wishing life this moment to last  
All she has left is her memory  
I'm slowly drowning in this fire  
In her hands this picture of me  
She holds near her hearts desire  
Sorry I left you all alone  
It never should have been this way  
Once you realized I was gone  
All those things you wanted to say  
Motionless in this hell I feel  
The only sounds I ever hear  
This guilty pain is all too real  
The echoes of your lonely tears

Author's Note
A story where I die in a house fire and my wife left with the remnants of the wreckage and all she has as a reminder of our life together is a picture..meanwhile I get to witness and feel her emotional journey in life while I'm in purgatory
