ASHES

Reading Time: 2 mins read

Fifty seven minutes ago I burnt your picture.

That was fifty-six minutes nine seconds before I started writing this

Sixty four minutes from when I realized I had lost all peace

And I hate repeating myself; but what is this?

How was that; who dares to speak?

My fingers are typing while my mind says ‘hold your piece’

Forty-four minutes ago I hurt those fingers

I hurt them because I was burning your letters

Your cards; all those little pink flowers

All the sparkles and confetti showers

But could not burn the memory of reading them hour after hour

I burnt my sheets two minutes after that

Because I wanted to get rid of your perfume

My sister looked at me and laughed; I looked at her and fumed,

Then asked for vinegar with which to scrub my room

Thirty-nine minutes; thirty nine minutes of hearing you speak,

Two hours of seeing your fingerprints on my walls

Your scent is driving me crazy; I want to run,

But no matter where I go you always seem to come

Twenty-one minutes ago I burnt those shirts;

The green one and the yellow; and also the vest

Then fifteen minutes ago I wanted to rest,

But went and got a Calypso bottle first

My room looks like a war zone; smoking and bereft

Scattered; looking lonely like graves of green berets

The walls are clean though; sparkling and new,

Seems like I burned the last thing I could find of you.

I just wish I could burn my heart…

ASHES.
