Burning

Burning it all away

Turning the memories to ashes
and the ashes into day

Burning

The flames reaching into my heart
searing the pain away

Killing the monsters inside me
making me so plain

Burning

My soul turning to glass
shattered by the heat of shame

Dwindling

My spirit dies away
as my life disappears
into the abyss

Sinking

Hope leaves
toward the ocean floor
along with love and happiness

Gone

Spirit
Life
Soul
Heart
Memories
Hope
Love
Happin­ess...

Goodbye
