Ashes
I lay here drenching my pillow with tears of loneliness and pain
Searching for the right words to say to bring you back to me again
I constantly inhale the deadly smoke of my past
And watch as my whole world just burns to ashes
Shaking uncontrollably as I choke back unshed tears
I just pray to God you will here my silent pleas
The walls of life are closing in and my mind is blank
You were my everything, my hopes, dreams and fears
I've removed your picture only to discover a gaping whole in my heart
I try helplessly to mend the shattered life that you left behind
I'm numb to everything except my increasing pain
And even that somehow comes and goes
I've lost you once again to the selfishness of my heart
And this time I know, you are truly gone forever
But you'll always be in my heart, my one and only
And I'll love you forever from ashes to ashes, and dust to dust

Lost in a portrait
Faded images reflected through a mirror,
Constant tear drops staining the unfamiliar.
Remembering an angel I once used to be,
Laughter and joy that was stolen from me.

Replacing memories with regrets and sins,
Searching for some peace that lays within.
All hope and faith disappearing out of sight,
Leaving me stranded from losing this fight.

Lost in a portrait lays a young innocent girl,
Afraid; alone; simply hiding from the world.
