The End

Orange, yellow, and red. 

Warmth that engulfed it wholly.

The fumes covering 

Every 

Inch 

Of this house, 

And our story with it. 

Phantom sounds of footsteps in the hallways. 

Down the stairs of the house we made our own. 

Laughter echoes off the walls as it comes down. 

I’m leaving, your voice playing 

Over 

And over 

In my head.

The urge to beg you circling my mind.

To fall to my knees and plead. 

Plead for one more chance to make it right.

One more chance to make you smile,

To make you laugh, 

To love you.

But I settled for, Okay.
