Ashes

I smile as I sense the demon’s sorrow,
My soul, my friend, is not my own to give.
Go away then and come back tomorrow,
I have one more day, one more day to live.
I’ve nothing left now, save thoughts of her,
The one whose price was so ungodly high.
Come take my ashes, worth more to be sure,
Than the love she promised that was a lie.
