It was That Day in the Living Room » poetry

One day in our living room

I caught the smell of incense

My eyes met with the flame

Engulfed in tears that

Heaviness of the weight it carried on me as death carries into the next life

Who knew I would be the one holding the torch to light

To burn all the remorse I had

The ashes were soon to be what we had

Dismantled and unprepared

Perished

I lit another in that same room we kept our thoughts

Seemed to burn through the voices that sat behind my ears

One day in the living room

Death came upon me in four minutes
