Burning Thoughts
As I looked into your eyes, I saw my future go up in flames.
The bittersweet memories we’ve shared-
Replaced with the sharp coldness of your gaze.
I wouldve never thought that the future that was so righteous in meaning and purpose-
end up being the forgotten past of our times.
The jealousy I feel for the people you surround yourself with-
How they hear your presence,
Not knowing I heard it before.
Memories.. oh how cruel they can be-
shattering in my heart like a broken glass.
Pain so deep replaced with coldness and fear.
