POEM STARTER

Inspired by BlueInk

"You loved me so fiercely that I burned; now, you'll only be left with ashes."

Write a poem that contains this line. You may modify it as you see fit, but the sentiment should remain similar to the original quote.

Letting Go

My eyes burn with the flame of a thousand suns,

But my heart is as cold as yesterday's ashes.

You loved me so fiercely that I burned; now, you'd only be left with those same ashes.
