#1.
You were the only one standing next to me when the world caught fire.
When everyone ran.
You burned there with me.
We became ash together and fell into the earth.
Everyone else disappeared into the abyss.
The flames became smaller until they were nothing.
There we were.
We grew from nothing.
When we were less than nothing.
So, we stand alone.
We stand strong.
And there we are.
#2.
Driving.
The destination has yet to show it's face.
Never seems to come from behind the fog.
Never.
I'm going to see my friend for the last time.
To early to say good-bye.
But good-bye just the same.
Too young of a face.
He lies there in silence.
My heart lies there too.
My vision in a sense becomes clearer.
Yet twisted.
I know I'm going somewhere.
I live for a reason.
Though the reason my flicker out like a flame and fall into the winds.
Disappearing without a trace.
Those I leave behind will hold the ashes.
