Burning Love

Today I burned your letters

Filled with all your lies

The smell of broken promises

Even stung my eyes

I tore up all your pictures

And cast them in the flame

I washed my hands a thousand times

To free me of your shame

I tried to burn my memories

But the fire was way too hot

So I'll wait 'til you mean nothing

And be glad that I forgot

I tried to burn your kisses

But my lips couldn't reach the fire

So I found me someone new to love

That fills me with desire

Tomorrow I won't know you

It's her I'm thinking of

You'll no longer matter

For today I'm burning love

Nice!

This is fantastic, great idea, and I love how you go through everything you're burning to finish it with love itself.
