Letters on fire

Monday morning

Just woke up

Was cleaning up.

My mom came home,

Said I had some mail

I didn't expect any

However, I recognized your handwriting.

We had seen each other exactly a week ago

For the first and last time.

To this day, I still have no idea what

You expected from me.

Did you want some Virginia x Vita kind of story?

Did you think I'd be your Vita?

Or your Héloïse?

Or your Eurydice?


Life isn't a movie

And if it was,

The ending scene would be me

Setting your letters on fire

And watching them

Burn, burn, burn.
