Doorway to Nowhere

I sleep in ashes
ashes from the bed of memory
please, remember me
as my ashes drift away

I sleep in ashes
built by magic matches
guilt and regret
of my past's patches

I sleep in ashes
fire forgotten
all is broken,
all is rotten

cracks fill the glass
and the glass is grateful
for the glass is thrown away,

purpose destroyed,
it lives forever, however
it shrivels and damages all in its way

they sleep in ashes
because of my mistakes
I abused my power
and put their lives at stake.

Though they sleep in ashes,
there is one thing they forget,
their pain is cooked over the ashes,
but they don't feel the fire yet.

We all sleep in ashes
and we're blinded by the heat
numbed by the fear and rumors
of the hope our ashes bring.

I sleep in ashes
I sleep in dread
I live in a simulation,

and I sleep in a buried bed.
