Embrace the ashes

We need to take control of the moment we strike the matches

Control the fire, burning red

Leading forward holding pieces of tonight,

Swimming pale

We are drowning in these wine glasses, white and blurry

Transparent souls.

Stay until tomorrow, stay until the fire grows in flames

Stay attached, stay, lock the place.

Don’t you worry about the ashes, baby, at all

We’ll let them conquer the wind, meet the world

Let us be them, let us lose control.

  1. Intense! I felt like you were writing from a raw place if that makes sense. I really enjoyed your poem 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
