Ashes

I burned the letter I wrote you today, A symbol of how I feel for you,
I burned each piece until it was unrecognizable, I held it till it burned my fingers,
my hatred towards you burned away with it,
the fatigue I felt for you dissipated.
I feel tired & drained,
yet lighter in soul, a part of me returned.
No longer can you hurt me, damage me unrecognizable,
I am tired now after releasing you, setting myself free,
My hands and clothes smell of ashes, ashes of you left behind.
