The letters lay crushed
Regular visitors of trash
Any chance of salvation
Washed away by tears.
They knew our love was
All I wanted
But restrained by fears inside
I let society decide.
My letters will accompany me
To my pyre
Together, be set on fire
Our ashes, interspersed.
Difficult to discern
Which particles had my words
And which, my blood
Joined forever, and mixed in mud.
