Leave nothing behind
No one to cry
Now isn’t that a lie
Leave everything behind
You pleaded
I pleased
You promised
I arrived
The rope creaked
I screamed
Burn everything away
There is no way to go back
Nothing is okay
I begin to crack
The smoke seeps into me
I heave the sigh of widows
In the heaps of ash
The windows are painted black
