the burn remains

Author: Benjamin F. Schenck

Why is it,

That the burn remains,

long after, the fire has cooled?

Why must I dream, Of her,

The only hell…

And the only heaven,

I have known?

Why must there be,

?

Deep in,

The dirt and ash,

One small ember,

Yet to kindle fire?

Why can I not just forget?

I want to forget…
