Ashes, Ashes By Jada. R. Cline

They said, "no one could ever love us."
"No one would ever be there to hold us."
"We would never who we wanted to."
"We should give up."

We never talk anymore.
And like all the glass in the world, we ended up shattered.

We never love anymore.
For our hearts have been broken beyond repair and there's no fixing us.

We never breathe anymore.
For we hold out breath in the waters of our soul, wishing away the others.

We can only open our throats in song, letting out words of heart break and fear into the world and letting it seep into all the cracks of our broken arms and hearts.
(5 second pause)

Ashes, Ashes.
fuck them all.
They said we could never join
We would always fall.

Ashes, Ashes.
Our minds spin in circles
And like rose poppies we wilt and die.

Ashes, Ashes
Flowers fill our souls.
Mend the cracks
And pull us together.

For only another day.

Another day of
Pain.
Fear.
Despair.
Anxiety.
Loss of hope.

We can't cry anymore.

For our broken tears disappear in the whispers of wind and land on deaf ears.

So we sing our pain.
