Ashes Of A Life Poem by Amber Dawn Hobbs

This darkness is driving me to madness,
Its burning away what is left of my soul.
Leaving charred, cold ashes in its wake.
I sit here wishing for my life to change,
Wishing it was different.
I search through the ashes,
Rummaging through broken, shattered pieces,
I see bits of happiness and glee that was stolen from me,
All I have left are the dreams of what could have been,
But will not be,
I have anger, bitterness, and pain,
Not the love, hope, and joy that I need.
I see pieces of shattered dreams, a broken mind, a beaten and battered soul.
I see unfortunate remnants of a life once lived,
That now is burned by flames of betrayal and rage.
What once was pure and true
Is now nothing but a trail of Ashes
Leading to the girl standing before you
Baring her soul...
