From Promises to Ashes
Wet lashes raise
to a red sunset
Wilting over ashtrays
and seas of memories dead
Beautiful, twisted and crazed
Impaled with Darkness and Regret
maybe if the smoke gets thick
and her eyes glaze
She'll learn how to forget
the dull throbbing, nagging ache
Of words long ago said
Promises long ago made
Promises that were never kept
to a red sunset
Wilting over ashtrays
and seas of memories dead
Beautiful, twisted and crazed
Impaled with Darkness and Regret
maybe if the smoke gets thick
and her eyes glaze
She'll learn how to forget
the dull throbbing, nagging ache
Of words long ago said
Promises long ago made
Promises that were never kept

This is really good. The image kinda lingers in your mind when you're done reading it. Really cool. Nice job!
