ashes:
i am the ghost of who i once was,
a fading echo in the dark,
drowning in the silence of a scream
no one ever heard.
my bones are heavy with the weight of it all
the years of pretending,
of plastering smiles on broken lips
that never knew the taste of hope.
every breath is a betrayal,
a reminder that im still here,
while the world spins on,
oblivious to the hollow thats swallowed me whole.
i reach for a hand,
but the air slips through my fingers,
leaving me clutching at shadows,
lonely as a whisper in the void.
whats left of me?
just shattered dreams and forgotten yesterdays.
a pile of ash where a heart used to be,
cold, lifeless, beyond repair.
i wanted to be enough,
enough for someone to stay,
enough for myself to care,
but i am nothing.
less than nothing.
just waiting for the end
to take me quietly
as if i was never here at all.
i sit here,
fading away,
crumbling to ashes,
looking for a reason to stay.
