Nov 2013
Mentally feed the flames
With old, useless emotions
The smoke is putrid;
Make sure not to inhale.

Ashes of an
Easily forgotten love
Burn slow, burn eternal
The fire licks at your scars

His name imprinted
Into your already ruined skin
Do not think about it
Anymore.

Sit and enjoy the company
Of your lost pride
Lost love
But don't stay for too long
Don't speak too loud,
But don't stay silent.

Don't give me those eyes
The same ones you masked with honesty
While you'll told me all those lies
You never really loved me.

I know you're empty
I am too
But I will no longer be
Bursting full of you.
