Dónall Dempsey - SETTING FIRE TO THE FLAMES...THAT BURN MY HEART

2014-11-07 2

I burn your
precious letters

(you know the ones)

all paper promises
& lies...lies...lies.

I watch your words
curl at the edges

watch the flames

lick at sentences
tentatively

then devour pages
ravenously

your voice become
smoke

promises...lies
ashes...ashes.
