In That Fire

By
In that fire, they'd laid.
Every letter. Every photo.  Every trace of you.
The embers kissed the carpet as the soot filled the air.
It was so comforting —
To erase my past in a warm blaze and kill every memory of you.

In that fire, you'd died.
Every hour. Ever minute. Every second of you.
Your kiss left my face as your scent filled the air.
It was so comforting —
To leave my past and receive the goodbye that I never got from you.

- Tristan B.
