Ash
Blue eyes turn the dullest shade of grey
Bright smiles slowly fade away
Warm touches turn quickly frigid
Carefree mind becomes ridgid
Heart fading, lacking luster
Beats ending, no longer clustered
Chest rising less and less
As I take my last breaths

Mind calm, no longer manic
Muscles relax, no need to panic
Light fades into blackness
Weather breaks from complete madness
Empty rooms no longer echo
Strongest wills finally let go
Lingering dreams suddenly crash
As I slowly turn to Ash

Cheerful singing begins to drone
Sparkling gems turn to stone
The gleaming sun becomes dreary
The happiest child grows weary
Crimson leaves wilt and crumble
The lions roar no longer rumbles
Ur deepest love starts to stray
As u calmly walk away

The loudest laughter no longer bellows
The strongest winds become mellow
Colorful flora losses lush
Frozen glaciers turn to slush
Blue skies veiled in somber
The greatest minds no longer ponder
The redest rose pedals fall and decay
As I live my final day
