Handwritten Notes

Handwritten notes on the doorstep, 

They turn to ashes, 

Before your eyes can meet them. 

Do you remember: 

The saddest phrase, 

In the world. 

Crumple up the paper, 

Throw it across the room, 

Leave it behind. 

Fire catches, 

The edge of your mind, 

Push it away. 

Step out of the room, 

Knowing, 

You won’t see it again.
