Burn This Note
Burn this note. Burn this note for I don’t want it to live. I don’t want the memory to find a place it feels safe. It had to be shared with you and you alone but only for now and never to be mentioned. Don’t even admit you read it. Let it die in your memory and maybe it will die in mine. Burn this note. Sometimes, I wake from a deep slumber to a jolt of fear. Fear I overslept. Fear I didn’t hear him cry in the night. Then the fear turns to torment and overwhelming grief again and again. Every single time as the truth comes and overwhelms me with cruel reality and the knowledge his sweet green eyes closed long ago. . . long ago. Burn this note. Burn this note.
