Nothing But A Memory

The fire's ablaze
smoke fills the air
it's awfully calm
for my racing heart
Amidst the shadows
lies a box
intimate moments
have become foreign
Its contents dripping
streams of love
rivers of need
and oceans of lies
My hands are shaking
as they fall
into the depths
of no longer
Mascara tears drip
onto vows of love
and forever finds
its fiery death
As they turn to ashes
i exhale...
i'm turning you into a memory
nothing but a memory


--Just in case you didn't follow this.  It's about me burning a box of letters, pictures, cards, etc. of an ex. Just a little fyi if you needed some help

Wow, what can I say? this really reminds me of my ex bf. I had a file I had done about the two of us and what we had done as a couple. But when we broke up I had forgotten about it until a few months ago, and when I found it I had to get rid of it...and that was hard.
great job!!!

Good write, I can def relate to what you were saying here. Great word usage! ~Jess
