memories and tears~ By Goodness Lanre Ayoola

i have picked these lines again
from the chest of my heart
the chest i once locked away...

i sit in tears under the gaze of the moon
under the twinkles of whispering stars
and as i watch the wood lay their beauty for ashes
on the altar of fire...

i burn with your memories...my ashes...
