"Ashes"

Sometimes I wonder about this cold world that is my own

This empty, lonely place

known as home

A vision of splender begins to fade...

And I miss my innocence,

never knowing

I miss that happiness,

always showing

I miss my unborn niece,

or unborn nephew

I miss that carefree childhood

that I never knew

Ashes floating through the breeze

Everyday it takes a bigger piece of me

Eventually I will be able to break free

Finally the chance to mend this broken wing

And I miss my shining star,

burned so brightly

I hope you know that

I truly love you

I wish there was a way

again for me to touch you, again for me to trust you

Some bruises never heal

Some pain time can't mend

You'll always shine within me,

although I turned and ran

And I miss being naive,

not feeling jaded

I wish someone would see

The girl within me

She's not as strong as she used to be

Now she's faded

Into scattered ashes
