Nothing

A poem I found in an old junk drawer of my dresser. :) Enjoy.

Heart beat slowing

Fingers slowly going numb

Eyes drooping

Falling shut

Falling deep

Deep into sleep

Growing colder

Sinking

Plummeting

Falling

Flowing cold opens up

To fiery heat

Singeing skin

Smell of burning

Melting flesh

Dripping

Nothing left

Only bones

Heat rises

Engulfed by inferno

Flames lick up

Bones become brittle

Snapping

Popping

Crumbling

Just dust left

Ashes

Nothing more

 

We are all just ashes.

wow. short but very emotional. i loved it. It had so much energy and darkness all at once. It such few words you make the reader think of so much. Tons of things run through you mind as you read it. Excellent write :)
