Burnt Essences [A Story of Stale Love]

|So I burn the memory.

______________________________________
√

I Walked Dazed through the Icy Rain,
And gazed down at the Runny road.
So as the Rain bubbles Rose.. and Split,
I flinched, as your Reflection Showed.
.

But I kept on And Reached our Bridge,
And took out a zippo from my trouser pocket.
I took out your Memories, I took out your laugh,
I Took out your BlackGold birthday locket.
.

I burned them all and stayed aloof,
As the smoke from the rubble touched the roof,
And maybe my heart, beat a little,
Our heathens swarming, in the middle.
.

And As the Smoke and Ash Circled up,
The Grey sky let out a groan,
Thunder flashed to resonate my feelings,
Rain clouds cried on their own.
.

I turned back and walked straight home,
Still through the Blurry Ice and Pain,
But I reached a Road that smelled of You,
So I flinched Once more and went Insane.
.

And As the droplets descended on my skin,
I couldn't help but replay the drama,
And As it Plays back in my head, I laugh,
At how I still cling to your words like Commas.
.

It was Pure Hash, My Love for You.
It was weak but Girl, you made it stronger.
Thankful I am, that you were not High,
For a One Sided Love Lasts Longer.
.

And Perhaps I felt a tad bit Faint.
For I Sat this down and looked Above.
And Truth still poured upon My face.
That I have Lived and Died. Both In Love.
.

So I Look on still, With Glassy Eyes.
And murmur those words I left unspoken.
I look at the Glass sky. At Glass People.
Living these lives so Easily Broken.
.

And Perhaps I'll sit here a Bit Longer.
Until Time Once more restores it's Sands.
Maybe we'll bump into each other someday,
And Pretend,
We don't know each other, if we can.
We'll walk past each other, Ignorant and Brazen.
And Only God will understand.
.

Hurts will come Undone
When these memories I'll Unlearn.
I'll Rise and fall behind
Weightless in rewind.
.

In this World of Replayed Dreams,
I flinch every time your face blurs by.
So I pull another smoke to Ease the pain.
And no matter how many Years pass by.
.

I Drift up. With This smoke.
On and On and On.
.

Till Who Knows When? Who can?
And I swear.
Only God understands.
