Up In Flames
~
I found traces of you today
burned them all away
long into days end
through the softest night
I…vigorous in the light
the reflection of the flames in my eyes
daunting all attempting to touch my sky
follow the thread
in and threw
at long last
I am rid of you…
though you never meant harm
I smile not at your charm…
[bitter, jaded so complicated]
a place I once knew
destroyed by you
a journey not of my choosing
ruinous fire at my feet
leaving me complete
once felt as defeat
it was only me I had to conquer .
