Burn me

I refuse to have a tombstone.

Burn me and forget me.

I won't be pieces of ash in an urn or a patch of grass.

Burn me. Burn me. Burn me.

Then,forget me.

About This Poem

Last Few Words: Oh ,we unveiled my Koko's tombstone. We had Psalm 23 on it. It felt fake Why could we not write: here lies the remains of a treasure that was stolen from us. Her loss feels real every day that we can't hold her.

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Burn Me

My Dear Koki,
I doubt anyone could ever forget you. I feel your suffering...
