Ashes

Yawn, click, listen, cry,

Type, watch, hurt and sigh.

Bones of lead, pulled to earth,

Muscles weak, emotion dearth,

Drink, hit, another high,

"How are you?" Another lie,

In plain sight, pure facade,

Underneath, all is charred,

Desolate, empty, cold,

Shivering with fears untold,

Can't escape from space and time,

Run, jump, swim or climb,

Drive, cycle, fly or boat,

Kicking hard to stay afloat,

Consciousness fades with flashes,

Left behind, only ashes.
