Ashes, Ashes, Dust

by Ashes of Butterflies

Sister story to [swirly, swirly, tumble], but can be read by itself. This time dealing with Despair.

Ashes, Ashes, Dust.

By Ashika

Despair- utter loss of hope

Not sadness

Not hatred

Apathy of those around me

Nothing but loss

Nothing at all

Her name was Despair

I remember that always

She watched me so intently

Bleeding as she thought

Thought about how I was almost gone

Waiting for it to end

Ashes, ashes, dust.

That's everything here

Nothing but Death in the end

I fear the sunless lands.
