She sat there for hours,
Letting the fire set her world ablaze.
Page by page,
Picture by picture,
Memory by memory.
She tossed them into the fire pit.
Her heart ached,
So many years she could never get back,
Hundreds of hours both good and bad, gone.
Now as the first picture of them together turns to ash
Tears stream down her face.
She knew she regretted nothing.
Every moment had been precious,
Well spent energy
but where did it all go wrong?
She hadn’t a clue.
All she could remember was
his smile his eyes his laugh.
She starts shaking,
The sobs racking her body.
She thought she could do this,
Burn the proof of their love,
Push him out of her heart and mind.
His notes to her went up in flame
Why was she doing this?
The she saw them in her mind.
Him holding her hand, them sharing a laugh.
Broken heart slowly turning to stone
She threw the rest in and walked away.
Her black hair blowing in the wind,
And her bright green eyes ready for a fresh start.
