Grey and Black

by Carolyn Stone

Rated: E · Poetry · Tragedy · #2205552

A short poem

Grey and Black

the embers of the blazing fire
burned like the love that I never had
the love you never gave me

smoke bonding to my cloths and hair
covering me in the scent of smoldering wood
lingering through the night

I was left in the ashes
Grey
Black
Burnt
