ASH
By: RC
I stared, watching the wood engulf into flames, It reminded me of those summer days.
Just like the fire, though not completely wild I felt the burning sensation every time you smiled.
The flying ashes that still held a spark I will always carry the feeling of you in my heart.
How symbolic, the combustion had me mesmerized Do you remember every adventure during those nights?
It’s calming the closer you get, the warmer you feel I was falling in love, still trying to heal.
And then just like that, the spark turned to grey ash I remember being the cause of our intimacy crash.
Like the smoke blowing different ways You will always be the one that got away.
