Only Ashes Remain Poem by Melissa Bange

I DON'T REMEMBER YESTERDAY
I WATCH THE WEEKS JUST FADE AWAY
DON'T COUNT ON TOMORROW
NOT SURE HE'LL SHOW

BEEN LOST AND CONFUSED FOR FAR TOO LONG
MAYBE I'LL SORT IT OUT WITH A SONG
CAUSE IT'S EASIER TO WALK THROUGH A TEAR
THEN IT IS TO LET MYSELF FEEL

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SO I DO NOTHING AT ALL
I WANT TO FLY SO HIGH
BUT I'M AFRAID TO FALL

THE COLD CUTS DEEP INTO MY BONES
I ACHE INSIDE, BUT NO ONE KNOWS
I HURT INSIDE, BUT NO ONE KNOWS

I HOLD THE WEIGHT ON BROKEN ARMS
REMINDS ME WHERE I DON'T BELONG
THE VOICE THAT ECHOED NOW IS GONE
BUT THE WORDS THEY LINGER ON

STRANGLED BY MY CONFUSION
I DON'T KNOW MY OWN NAME
PRAY TO GOD THAT I WILL SEE THE LIGHT
WHEN ONLY ASHES REMAIN....
