Description
--Nightfall Ashes--I no longer hear your voice
The sweetest sound I ever knew
I had never seen this coming
Everything happened out of the blue
I’m looking for you, I can’t find where you’ve gone
Your house, your clothes, your favorite song
They’re all still here but a shadow did fall
And each day drags longer until that call
You’re so far away, and tears can’t dry
Every day I can see it all again
Framed against the darkest sky
Crackling, hot nightfall ashes
Matchsticks can be built higher
And scrapers can touch the sky
But all can be burned in fire
Any creation brought back down
You don’t really want to stay
Each word out of my mouth made it clear
But once you’re gone
Nothing can sooth this choking fear
You’re so far away, and tears can’t dry
Every day I can see it all again
Framed against the darkest sky
Crackling, hot nightfall ashes
Voices drown out every sound
Filling my head up from the ground
It never happened, rewinding
And now that I know, I’m finding
You’re so far away, and tears can’t dry
Every day I can see it all again
Framed against the darkest sky
Crackling, hot nightfall ashes
Let me rest hear on this stone
Let me trace the letters, etched in black
Let me remember when you were still at home
Let me cry until you’re back
Don’t make me accept you’re gone
Keep the sorrow through every dawn…
You’re so far away, and tears can’t dry
Every day I can see it all again
Framed against the darkest sky
Crackling, hot nightfall ashes

It's not crap!
It's very evocative. The fourth stanza is particularly chilling. It takes so long to build something, but only minutes for it all to be taken away in flames.

Thank you!
I just had an image, and it felt a good way to elaborate on it.
