Ashes
The small town she grew up in
became engulfed in flames
Memories burnt to ashes
Buried among forgotten names
She desperately wanted to run,
but a voice called her to stay
Light broke through the heavy clouds
revealing just who to blame
She spent her life burning bridges
and wasting away her days
And now with nowhere else to run
She had to live with her mistakes.
