Ashes, Dust and Lust - A collection of Prose

Ache

Just leave me lying here

In my thoughts

Holding on to this pain

My heart is bruised

But I am okay.

The broken parts of me are scattered around

I know I can put them back together again

But, for now...

Just leave me here

In my pain

I long to feel it at its worst

This gut-wrenching, all consuming agony

I need to feel it in my veins

Let it consume me for a while

As it swallows me whole

I allow its darkness to blanket my body

It's comforting here

Miserable, but familiar

Like an old friend visiting me again

I lie here

Permitting it to enter

Enabling it to overwhelm me

And as everything turns black

I let it

I feel it

I drown in it

Let me just lie here

And feel...
