The Ashes of Yesterday

She cries at the nothingness of life ahead.
The dark grey sky, we weep because of
the solitary love, and that is love for
one self.

Look at her, we see the future so bright
and clear. Plant a seed and take her
to the gardens,
her heart is already taken and cannot be
mine.

We talk and touch, just wanted to be in a
place where you and i be one.
Winters chill, the smoke clears every night
i stare at the stars.
And only a shadow of you is with me.

I told you what's inside this troubled mind,
and left so much unsaid.
Feel free to cry, alone, we reached the heights
of true love.

Tomorrow is the same, as time goes by
I am left behind. The memory of you
is with me,
'til the fire burns out and when only the
ashes remain.
