I drive along a beautiful country road I can’t see through the tears streaking down my face. My lashes are damp My eyes red and swollen The world seems to stand still for an endless moment No clouds moving No wind blowing through the trees No birds have songs of joy to sing The only sound is that of my heart beating I my ears. A bittersweet rain Fills my broken heart It takes all that I possess Not to let it rip me apart How do I move on How do I face another day When The fire of my hopes and dreams has been doused and washed away The flames are finally extinguished Smoke billowing though the air At long last Nothing remains but soot and ash

Soot and Ash
I drive along a beautiful country road I can’t see through the tears streaking down my face. My lashes are damp My eyes red and swollen The world seems to stand still for an endless moment No clouds moving No wind blowing through the trees No birds have songs of joy to sing The only sound is that of my heart beating I my ears. A bittersweet rain Fills my broken heart It takes all that I possess Not to let it rip me apart How do I move on How do I face another day When The fire of my hopes and dreams has been doused and washed away The flames are finally extinguished Smoke billowing though the air At long last Nothing remains but soot and ash
This poem is about the disillusion of a relationship that wasn’t meant to be.
