Descended From Embers A note Torn in Pieces
Descended
From embers
A note torn
In pieces
Blackened chalk edges
Licked by the flames
Words not intended
Ever to reach him
So now she burns them
In attempt to take away the pain
But her tears
Still sit on her skin
Burning
Like the fire that destroys
All evidence
Of anything
She ever said
Anyone she ever loved
As if she’d never had her heart broken
From embers
A note torn
In pieces
Blackened chalk edges
Licked by the flames
Words not intended
Ever to reach him
So now she burns them
In attempt to take away the pain
But her tears
Still sit on her skin
Burning
Like the fire that destroys
All evidence
Of anything
She ever said
Anyone she ever loved
As if she’d never had her heart broken

Very nice- simple-subtle- real emotion - not overwritten. Tougher to do than many know. I like it very much.
