A poem that I wrote while in a very dark place.
BURN ME TO ASHES


Raven black and silent as a tomb is this endless night

I stand upon the mountain of my shattered dreams,

Amidst the bones of all those I have loved

I stand naked and alone,

With no more fears to feel,

No more tears to cry

I stand alone and wait to die

Let it end now, I beseech the gods

Take aim with your flaming arrows

At the center of my feeble heart

Burn away its last glimmer of hope

That love may yet exist

Burn me to ashes

Destroy the last trace of my humanity

Burn me to ashes

And see my Spirit rise

To become the dawn
