Tears for Ash
By Ariah Jade

Burning
The light I carried for you
So you wouldn’t see the dark,
Has become the flame
That is burning me to death.
I fear my tears are not enough
To slow the creeping fire.
I fear I’ll crash into the ground,
I see no where safe to land.
Though others see the light of it
They wont hold out their hand.
I’ll have to fight this on my own
And I don’t think I have the strength.
There is no avoiding this
I’m falling fast and hard.
The only question that remains
Is if I have the strength to rise again.
Will I end like Iccarus on the open sea
Or will I be the phoenix and rise up
Strong and free.
If this is my tearful end
Please don’t cry for me.
We all have to go at some point
Its only how and when.
