Ashes of home (Explicit)

Packed up the chaos, the remnants of years,

Boxes of nothing, soaked in old tears.

Where do I put the shoes, the cat’s little tray?

The echoes of laughter have all slipped away.

The walls are now bare, the memories fade,

A life once so vibrant, now lost in the shade.

Ashes of home, scattered and blown,

Books turn to embers, the cold’s all I’ve known.

The fire burns brighter, but it can’t warm my soul,

I’m leaving my heart here, where the darkness takes hold.

Pages of stories, they crackle and burn,

A lifetime of wisdom, no one will learn.

The frost bites my fingers, the night’s closing in,

I’m watching my world fade, where do I begin?

The shadows grow longer, the silence too loud,

I’m drowning in emptiness, lost in the crowd.

Ashes of home, scattered and blown,

Books turn to embers, the cold’s all I’ve known.

The fire burns brighter, but it can’t warm my soul,

I’m leaving my heart here, where the darkness takes hold.

The cat’s soft purr, the creak of the floor,

These little things, I can’t ignore.

But time moves on, and so must I,

Beneath this vast and starless sky.

Ashes of home, scattered and blown,

Books turn to embers, the cold’s all I’ve known.

The fire burns brighter, but it can’t warm my soul,

I’m leaving my heart here, where the darkness takes hold.

So I’ll walk away, with nothing to keep,

The night wraps around me, like a long, endless sleep.

The ashes will settle, the memories fade,

I’m just a shadow, in the life that I made.
