Ash

hatred burning through the air
marking its path with crimson smoke
invisible to the naked eye
fire burning
raining ash
leaving the world dark and cold
love is painful
hate is sweet
as is revenge
we leave the world dark
an eye taken for another
leaving the world in darkness
blood dripping down
forming a river to the end of the earth
all consumed in life’s death grip
stealing your sanity
leaving behind an empty shell
the world’s burning
light succumbing to the darkness
we are burned
