They saw each other across the room and began talking.
He had beautiful eyes and she had a pretty smile.
He caressed her hair, she stroke his hand.

He asked if they could go somewhere quiet to talk.
As soon as the door closed, his eyes changed and he grabbed her and forced her to the floor.


She screamed to the ceiling while he forced her to the floor.
For each time she said no, he said yes.
For every thrust she sank further and further away from herself.

Buried six feet under, she lost everything she had ever had.
10 minutes changed a lifetime, his lust for her will to live.
One truth to another.

We are all ashes now
She will never forget
She will never forgive

We are all ashes now.

One life for another, one will over another.

She lost her smile but oh he kept those eyes. We are all guilty.
Her soul flickered, was ablaze for a second and burned out the next.
As long as we all stand idly by, we are all guilty.

From her ashes we all will rise.
We are all guilty.
We are all ashes now

She will never forget
She will never forgive
We are all ashes now.

Petticoat in ashes, we are all guilty, we all burn now.
