Memories in Ashes

Flames licking at the photo frame,
The edges turning black,
I leap to save the memory,
But a blast of heat pushes me back.
A silent scream of agony,
The muting, throbbing pain.
I watch as the glass shatters,
The heat, too much of a strain.
A memory in a picture,
A face of love so pure - forever gone,
The charred remains a luer.
The water soaked surroundings,
The house, my world, collapsed.
Standing alone in an empty frame,
Like a cell window. Heart so trapped.
Suffocated by the stench,
Bandaged burns reminding,
Of a memory best forgotten,
Of a sight so sour, it's blinding.

Suffocated by the stench,
Bandaged burns reminding,
I love the alliteration here, it really flows off the tongue, beautiful language.
I know this is supposed to be gloomy, but on a side note, the burning of a photo is a very cool thing...and your imagery portrayed it incely |
