Ashes
Ashes fall to the snow covered ground.
A life was lost and will never be found.
If she can't burn the grief, she'll release hell upon this town.
War approaches in her heart without a sound.
Dressed for the battle, she wears her bloodstained crown.
Warning shots are heard, ringing out loud.
Then the hellish fire is raised all around.
"Ashes, ashes!" Her last words, "We all fall down."

About a girl who wants revenge for someone she loves. Though she knows it isn't anyone's fault, she blames herself. Then, she loses her sanity trying to make death itself to blame. She starts a war no one can survive, hence the last line, '"We all fall down."'
The moral of this poem is to deal with grief naturally. Do not let it control your sanity.
