here lies the ashes

and this is how i pick my bones apart. every layer of skin begins to burn, there's a bad taste on my tongue from choking back on your name. i hear the tones drop in my chest, fully involved with my anger inside. and i wish that roof collapsed. when does the smoke clear up from the flashover we caused? there's a tombstone above my bed commending you for killing what was left in me. no light, no light, and you were trained to move without your vision. there goes the flag, my final call. to the monster you were, and he slayed, see you at the big one.
