before and after challenge

after the ashes rise,

ill fall to pits of my despair.

what we once felt,

is no longer there.

we are toxic, unresponsive

way beyond repair

drift your thoughts back to before:

it was freezing, winter season,

i knew you, you say, voice rough and hoarse.

we were at peace, let life take it's course.

but it lead us here: to depths so deep.

i am tired, i have tried by i cannot sleep.

i am haunted by what we used to be.
