Burned

By Jasmine Carpenter
Montpelier High School, Grade 10

I watch the flames rise into the night sky.
Higher and higher.
The kindling burning everything that reminds me of you.
Watching the pictures of smiles and laughs curl and crumple.
The love poems crack and blacken.
I'm closing the story of us,
and tossing it in to the fire.
Tonight I'll burn away my memory.
