Whatching it Burn

For many years I have pretended

That I cared about many things...

But today I'm tired, spent, and weak

So I decided to burn all strings.

Everything that linked me to you,

And the lies I was forced to listen.

They burn this deep, deep blue

So beautiful that my eyes glisten.

This is utterly amazing. I feel this. I have felt this. And, yes, I have even burned strings, letters, pictures, anything to disconnect with the past and place distance between my heart and hurt. This is so entirely too "full" for taking up such little space in print.

"They burn this deep, deep blue
So beautiful that my eyes glisten."

The hidden possibility of this tears at my heart. So beautiful the flames of letting go, your eyes glisten in hope. Or, so bitterly beautiful the flames of letting go, your eyes glisten in sorrow.

Superb. This is going straight to my favorites. I love it.

Oh honey, I would am no great writer - just a writer of heart. You are truly talented. Never sell yourself short. You most certainly conveyed a heart and soul here, the pain and beauty co-existing, even when it is freeing.

Whoa, for something so short, this is so powerful!
The first two lines caught my eye and struck me deep.
I love the subject, the meaning within the words, and how raw yet beautifully put together this is.
Wonderful!

I feel very strongly about this piece. Is something I wish I could say to some people's faces but I do not have the strength to. I am glad you liked it.
