Despise
Dishonesty
Yet
I acknowledge
Some truths
Are painful
To release
By holding back
My feelings
Is that a lie by omission?
You
Certainly
Think so
But our truth
Is painful
It hurts
To remember
Even
If remembering
Is part
Of the process
Of letting go
Actually
I think
That makes it
Hurt double
Because
I don’t
Want
To let go
I don’t
Want to remember
I don’t
Want
To forget
And I don’t
Want
To give up
The secrets
Of my heart
You present me
With candles
Sometimes
Torches
Sometimes
Bonfires
Finally
Asking me
To sit with you
And illuminate
Our past
Walk hand in hand
And remember
Together
What it was
And I say
It’s a fire hazard
And extinguish
The flame
Mee
The cowardly dragon
Since when
Have I become
Afraid of fire?
