The fire awaits

My love,

A gentle reminder

that the weight of those expectations

that you carry so well

that you carry so gracefully

that you have mistaken for your purpose

is not for you to hold

is not for you to nurture

is not for you to keep alive

let it go...

place it gently on the fire

that burns all the things that enslave you

let it go...

the fire awaits

let it burn
