Fading Ashes

Fading Ashes

A Story by Jason Shadows
"

Feel The Real Life One More Time.

"
"How Many Times Did I?
 How Many Times Did I Stand There?
 How Many Times Did I Stand There Alone?
 How Many Times Did I Stand There Without You?

 Its Been Like This Since The Beginning.
 Holding You And Letting You Go.
 Without Questions I Make More Sense.
 Bragging Rights Become No More Than Shame.
 
 The Bleeding Lights Makes My Darkness Stick.
 Bring A New Light To My Pain.
 A Broken Walk With My Shadow That Becomes My Sidekick.
 Mistakes Take Longer To Fix In This Hopeless Rain.

 Crumbling Under Your Feet.
 I Cannot Make A Move.
 Just Needing Your Silents Removed.
 To Be Just As Strong.

 Memories Painted Blank By The Fire In My Desires.
 Killing The Passion In This Skorned Lesson.
 Just Walk Away Again Just To Never Look Back.
 All I Have Is This Golden Key Which Is My Heart.
 
 Death In My Endless Burning Life - Just To Run Away.
 With Them Stuck On My Skin - I Cannot Feel Anymore.
 Deep On My Tongue - I Cannot Speak Anymore.
 For Now I'm Throwing Away - My Own Fading Ashes."

Hi, there. I'm not sure if I've ever read this type of writing before, and I'm pretty sure this is what's known as lyrical prose. It's not my favorite style, but I did like your concept in this one; it's very powerful, and you paint a beautiful picture.

I really got a sense of the narrator, and the penultimate (paragraph? stanza?) was my favorite for the imagery, and the all-encompassing idea seemed to fit in four lines.

Great work, and I think I will open my reading interests to include this type of writing.
