I've burnt the Cycle
By With love_Crow
I set fire to your words
Watched them coil around themselves
And
turn to ash, slowly burn
A mass destroyed, a mass created
Somewhere else, another plane
Fill a void for another
Half
a heart, still with pain
And you'll just add to its breaking
Tears of flame escape
From clouds that hold acid rain
The sting
of twisted dreamscape
And realization leave their bruises
Liquefied is the curse
Tainting all the life it touches
Promise
better, give them worse
Leave and scar, repeat the cycle
Evaporate the doubt
Condensate the agonizing
Dreams, and leave
them in a drought
Hungry for what you had offered
But I've
burnt all your verses
Killed the blue jays singing your songs
And
set this cycle in reverse
Embracing the numbness of sound

I thought at first you burned the motorcycle, but then got into the flow and much enjoyed the descriptive phraseology as your poignant goodbye developed and explained. "promise better, give them worse" was memorable to be sure, thanks.
