things I lost in the Fire



  1. Pictures of you... the ones i never had.



  2. Pictures of us... the us that never existed, the pictures which just could not be.



  3. Letters you wrote... it was never like you to write any letters to me.



  4. Gifts you gave... even those that were never delievered.



  5. Flowers... the ones you never gave but i dried nonetheless.



  6. A pen... you used for writing me the now charred letters.



  7. A pillow... the one which you once rested your head on.



  8. A watch... the one that clocked only the time we spent apart.



  9. A chair... the one i am sitting on.



  10. Memories... of everything you ever said to me and the ones you never mentioned.



  11. me... for how could i be without everything that i was?

I wrote a comment but it seems to have been lost somewhere.
Nyways.. i'll repeat it in short :)
I loved your art of picking the right articles to subject to fire as each has an important effect in its own regard.
A last line mentioning "all you gained from fire was Pain" would give a master finish to this perfect write up :)
I liked it and will visit often.
