Ashes

Yesterday turned to ashes
Flowing away with the wind
Everything goes and changes
With a fleeting moment of time

Silence and dust
All that remains
From that who were us

Darkness below rests deep in the void
Crushing the still of another night
Every sound of laugh, every moment of joy
Is gone in a minute with spark of light

Do you see that blooming garden
Within every verse written and gone?
Do you feel the pain beyond smile
When all masks finally fell down?

Memories turn faded in this silence
And the melody dwells still in those echoes
But the world is slowly dying
Reflecting in dark ash shadows

You know the truth
I wrote those verses through
All the memories of youth

Forgive me for every word
I’ve never lied, you know
And never wished to hurt
