Let It Burn

by Meme   Sep 27, 2012


Let it burn
for the love in our yesterdays
Let it burn
in every mile you walk away

I'm done thinking about this
whole thing through
Cause I found there can never
be me and you
So why continue in a dream
that wont be true
When you can find someone else,
someone new

So Let it burn
because for me you'll be a past
let it burn
for the things that can never last

Leave me to breath on my own
without your strain
I just started learning how to
smile again
How to face off all the sorrows
and the pain
And yes I can do it, today I
will reign

Let it burn
for the love in our yesterdays
Let it burn
in every mile you walk away

    My Queen, I love this.
    The repitition works wonders for this and transforms it into a song.

    There is great anger and hurt throughout this, good to see great emotion in your writing.

    The second stanza is awesome, you are basically telling him to 'do one'

    the strength in stanza 4 is awesome

    and of course you can reign today 'my queen'

    This poem made me think of breaking up
    somebody the persona in your poem love and he just left her so she is cursing him haha JK lol
    it is a deep piece for sure a desperate person just started to gather up her power after a painful break.
    I sensed a beat in your poem I also like the rhyming
    and the way you started and ended the poem with the same stanza was just spectacular

    good write =)
