The ashes of you

a poem about a friend moving ahead in life.

I see your foot prints walking off into the new world,a new beginning..


A world filled with light warming you from the coldness you once felt.


Embracing you and welcoming you in with open arms for a beautiful life..


I sit alone in the darkness surrounded by the ashes that were once you.


The dust clinging to my tear drenched cheeks,as I watch you walk away.


Leaving me behind to walk in the shadows alone, the darkness consuming me.


The darkness holding me in chains,keeping me where I belong.


Alone once again to face the darkness,as I watch you walk away into the light.


Leaving me with nothing but the ashes cupped in my trembling hands that were you.
