burning dreams
fueled
by the memory
of
your sweet fire
ash and soot
cinders and smoke
little is left for me to mine
my heart is now but a sore stone
you unknowingly carry around
in your tight palm
so fisted up
if you should drop it anywhere
soon
I think I should be damaged
beyond recognition or there of
but don't let that stop you
upon the path you are
meant to take
I may shatter at some point
certainly
but at my core
I know
I am unbreakable
