Ashes Poem by Dougie Fresh

Dark temptations are impossible to resist,
as I sit in the dark and stare at my wrist.
My Chemical addiction gives me an unquenchable thirst.
It is my only release to escape my hurt.
My tired eyes haven't shut for days.
There is no way out for me,
no changing my ways.
No light at the end of the tunnel,
no rainbows in sight.
Just the demons in my head and another sleepless night.
Ive lost all that I love in life, my beautiful kids and wonderful wife.
The only thing I have left is my blood soaked knife.

Should I join my family or flee the scene?
I decide to soak the evidence in gasoline.
I light a match and watch it burn to near nothing left, just like me.
I have nothing, no tomorrow, just regret and sorrow.
I'm so empty now I feel so hollow.
I Feel the heat and watch the flames as they dance and flash.
For tomorrow the world will find a monster buried beneath this ash.
