Ashes To Ashes

The myriad of pages burning contain my written sorrows and scribed pain, they leave nothing in their dark wake but bitter betrayal and lingering shame.

Memories torment me time and again tears that fall without pause or refrain, leaving their indelible salt-laden stain of failed attempts to recapture a love feigned

You who were my heart’s only chatelaine; the purest love that I could have offered you have, with no remorse, mercilessly slain, now have become my life story’s villain.

For you my purpose has run its course, seeking a new love to quicken you again, a deep wound you carved in my soul and on my chest a spreading bloodstain.

I, struck down by surprise as was Able by your vicious maliciousness, my Cain, I was left in a pool of pain unimaginable that threatened to keep me enchained.

Levelling harsh insults, feeling a violent disdain, I was not your type, you said when asked to explain. The agony and shock were truly inhumane after years of imagined love, the truth was plain.

You had decided without a moment’s restraint to destroy my confidence with no remorse. Alone now, I am laid low, my future uncertain like a million pieces of porcelain. I am broken.

How do I, my needed confidence reattain? I conclude that from love I must abstain, the tears continue to fall like midnight rain, and who I see in the mirror is still just plain Jane.

I am tiered; my spirit is weary and drained. All I want now is to sleep the eternal sleep, leave behind the lifelong cruelty of this domain, and therefore the burden becomes unchained.

Maybe then, in solitude, I will regain my inner peace, forgetting the love that became a pungent bane. Let these bitter words, formed into sad quatrains, burn into ashes so their power never again has reign.

 ~~~🎶SONG LYRICS🎵~~~

 “Ashes to Ashes”

[Verse 1]

Pages burn, my sorrows fade to smoke,

Every line I wrote now turns to a ghost.

You were my heart’s one and only queen,

Now you’re the villain inside my dreams.

[Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, dust to despair,

You left me broken, gasping for air.

Once I was whole, now I’m a stain,

Lost in the echo of midnight rain.

[Verse 2]

You carved your wound so deep in my chest,

Left me in chains when I gave my best.

All of my love was struck down, slain,

I’m Abel fallen to your cruel Cain.

[Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, dust to despair,

You left me broken, gasping for air.

Once I was whole, now I’m a stain,

Lost in the echo of midnight rain.

[Bridge]

Maybe in silence I’ll find my peace,

Maybe in ashes my pain will cease.

These bitter words burned from my hand,

Set me free from this cursed land.

[Final Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, dust to despair,

I’ll rise from the smoke, breathe a new air.

Once I was lost, now I’ll remain,

Stronger than sorrow, beyond the rain.
