Ashes and SootA Poem by Meghan
Sunlight settles lightly on the home you took
from a girl now reduced to ashes and soot Ruin the lives of our futures and our pasts Make sure every breath we take helps us finish last And when you see us heaving, we are broken ones Cause our simple feelings grab and tear at our bones And the hearts inside our chests weigh a ton And we're tired and we're scared and we need someone we need someone We are the wistful We are the haunted youth Chasing down what we left in black We shy away and do not face the truth that there is no way to get back And when you see us bleeding, you see the broken ones But you still keep leaving cause you say that you are done And the hearts inside our chests it weigh a ton We're burning in fires that we built without love Built without love You should have stopped it You could have stopped it You should have stopped it Well, I fell from grace, I'm just a body now Lost, lifeless feelings covered in a shroud And my voice shakes from the words I threw loud In a helpless retreat I shot myself down In a helpless retreat I shot myself down And if love destroyed you, you are a broken one No we don't shine for anyone And the hearts inside our chests weigh a ton And we try to forget so we won't miss them We'll forever miss them You should have stopped it You could have stopped it You should have stopped it © 2012 Meghan
