Sorrow Ashes

Smoke clears
Smoldered remains
Where we once felt so safe
Did it really happen the way you said?
Are we innocent?
You say just one word
Just one whisper
Hurry to say just one word
To remind me of our grace
Who are they?
To tell me I’m okay
Who is anyone?
To even care
Where are all of our things?
So dear to us
You say just one word
Just one whisper
Hurry to say just one word
To remind me of our grace
Silence growing mad
How did it get so sad?
Leave behind all the mess we made
Are we innocent?
