May 2010
I'm burning the memories,
The untouchable keepsakes,
I've kept locked inside so long.

Immolating:
The way your breath would play on my neck,
And the number of freckles on your shoulder.

I'll laugh as the fire consumes:
Feeling your arms around me for the last time,
The look in your eyes,
When we finally admitted it was over.

I'm laughing now!
The flames licking higher,
With each indelible dream.

Thrown in:
Your smile,
Your walk,
The me you swore you'd love,
Every time you said forever.

And I'm laughing.
Laughter!
Laughter!
Laughter...
