leaving for good this time

i burned for you

so you could burn me

i set all our memories ablaze

in that field by my house

                           the one we spent so many nights

                                 intertwined

                                    rolling around

                                       falling in love

i watch the smoke billowing

around my sad smile

i find comfort in the cold now

my jacket's not the same as you

but it's still here

                             you bought it for me

                                  remember?

                            so i would never have to

                                          ...feel the cold

i still feel your tongue

the last time

you shoved it into my mouth

so i wouldnt cry

                           i remember the love from your kiss

                               so passionate

                                   beautiful

                                    painful when you stopped

                            kissing for love

i could cry for you

but why waste my

tears

for you

look, were not even together

and you still

make me cry

                          tears would just put this fire out

                          and i'm

                          still

                          burning

                          for

                          you

This poem just sort of reminds me of things..

i set all our memories ablaze

When I was being a library aide today, this girl came in wanting to look at past yearbooks, for some teacher, I think. Anyway. We had to take her I.D. card so she wouldn't steal the books, but then we left the room that she was in. I said, "What if she steals the memories?!?"

my jacket's not the same as you
but it's still here

Great line. And it also reminds me of a song by Nerf Herder, called "Jacket". I'll get you the lyrics sometime. It's the best song on that cd.

Anywho. That's all's I gots to say. I love windmills?
