Ashes

A Poem by ThatDude

Behind crumbling walls, there we were,
unrestrained innocence,
unbeknownst victims,
Young embers,
Ignited by our fire,
slaves to desire,
curiosities
transmogrified ablaze,
limitless,
freedom,
foolish inferno,
An impossible lifestyle
Inspired by each other,
my brothers smiling,
The observers applauding,
Wide-eyed,
spectating,
Yet behind the smoke,
Our house is crumbling,
Our ashes laid bare
Scattered, forgotten
As if we were never there.
