the shackles chained to my feet that had once
bound me to your toxic love,
had momentarily been loosened and i grasped
that opportunity with grateful clammy ash coated
hands as a go go go!
the butterflies that had once nurtured
and caressed your beautiful form,
now aided me frantically with wonder and awe,
their wanderlust wings flutt-flutt-fluttering
against my delicate silk skin.
with my fingertips ablaze and my breaths
quickened and sharp,

FIRE.
and one by one they burned into the dust,
this was me forgetting you.
