Destroying Our Memories

Destroying our memories by a fiery flame,
tossing ripped up pictures, love letters,
placing my favorite sweater of yours that
still has that lingering smell of you,
burning away; soon to be gone forever.

Fire pit going in the backyard, burning so brightly;
the smell of gasoline feels my nostrils,
sweetly smiling to myself, letting you go once
and for good, taking off our matching ring, grasping
it so tightly in my shaking palm, closing my eyes
I toss it in, watching the gold transform into nothing.

One last thing to throw in; The beautiful roses you
would surprise me with, ones I've kept through out
our whole relationship, running my finger over the brittle
petals remembering the very day you gave me them,a
single tear escapes from my eyes, pressing the roses
against my heart, I quickly throw them in,
turning my back to the flame as I know there mere ash now.

Destroying our memories by a fiery flame,
awaiting this very moment for months that I'd
finally be strong enough to let go of you for good,
taking a deep breathe, trying to calm my nerves,
I whisper aloud " This is goodbye for good, Goodbye to the memories, No more you & i. Its time I finally let
go and move on with my life; Just remember, I'll
always have a place for you in my heart. "

Letting the fire burn, cremating every single memory
I held on to so dearly for so long, walking away I look
back one last time, telling myself
" I promise I'll be okay. "
