To exes and fathers
Music: Lianne la Havas - Lost and Found / Evanescence - The Last Song I'm Wasting on You


Pyre

Burn every word that eroded into lies
let them crumble and fade into nothingness

Wash and scrub them and their burns in me
from within

Build a pile with your sweet words
and the cruel truths
On the top of the pyre
I put you and your honeyed tongue

Able to justify
breaking me

I set it afire

and walk away

I certainly can feel the anguish behind these words. I like the imagery used too. For me it sends a message of resolute defiance. A stand against all the deceit. Enjoyed the read.
