(Day 21) In Flames

As I gazed at the flames of the fire

I could see your photograph burning

Until I could hear it crackling

Like a siren’s song in reverse.

I could see your smile over and over

Until it melted like cheese

Into the ashes of the flames

And the smell of that last kiss

Screamed shut against the smoke.

And with it what was once my love.


(Was out today so missed the prompt so instead wrote this short piece
looking at a fire at my parent's house and this story which is fictional
sorta told itself)
