"He'll always have a place in your heart" they say No. "Someday you'll give someone your whole heart-except that piece" No. I don't want his name tattooed on my heart forever, impossible to erase I don't want this section of my soul, this thriving garden in the black hole that is my mind Even though it's raining in that small slice off paradise, rain makes the flowers grow I don't want my tears to water the garden that he planted, I want to burn it, burn it all Sure, my last thread of hope will be consumed in the fire, but at least his voice won't haunt my dreams Maybe the memories and his voice His words, his name Maybe they will be reduced to ashes as well

Burning Flowers
