From The Ashes...

Strange, familiar the face
Displayed, still retains its grace
And while you disappear
Never my heart so near

Released from severed pride constraints
Detaching brittle smiles from pain

Obscured once
Whirling from my memories instead
From the ashes, settle in my head
Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide
Pulling all inside of me outside

Slow, passing the lines
Forgetting the ones gone by
Her hands faking control
Tearing my heart, my soul

Released from severed pride constraints
Detaching brittle smiles from pain

A few words to speak, none to express
Some empty words I leave you with
I hope they’ll bring some comfort nonetheless
None for me I must admit

They abandon the scene
Fleeing still further from me
And while crowds disappear
Never my heart so near
