Crying On The Ashes

Crying On The Ashes

By: Azza El Wakeel

One day, years ago

You promised me that

You would be faithful me to

But you betrayed me

You promised me that

You would always remember me

But you forgot me

I lived after you

Hiding my tears

Suppressing my groans

And one day, I gathered

All the things that

Reminded me of you

And set them on fire

Then I sat crying on the ashes

My heart burning with regret

For the memories that

The flames burned

And I felt angry at myself which

Has not gotten over you

Despite the passage of time
