The sky I look at is filled with black smoke.

In it flutters the remains of my past... once hidden... once denied.

It has finally let itself show.

Now I understand it was I who had lied.

I took those letters, all those pictures.

Drenched them in kerosene and struck a match.

I've never seen such a beautiful batch.

The fire danced and licked the sky.

As my memories just passed me by.

I let the poison fill my chest.

As I lay down next to the flaming mess.

Finally able to rest.
