Between the Ashes

by Screamer001

November 4, 2013

Here I walk with nothing left.

Standing frightened with a bleeding hand.

What's within my heart is cleft.

Destroyed facing monsters I can't withstand.

All I see is blood and gore.

Everyone drowning within this flood.

The truth I've never seen before.

The streets bathed in blood.

Everything fallen in disrepair.

But somewhere between the ashes,

The unleashed despair,

And the unfated crashes.

Even at the end of the rope,

Know that there is always hope.
