LOVE Poem: Ashes don’t fade, by Qaisar-Harris

I gave you the fire
You watched it burn
Hands in your pockets
No hint of concern

I whispered forever
You mouthed a lie
You built me a heaven
Then taught me to die

Now silence is louder
Than all that you said
Your words still echo
In rooms in my head

I waited for answers
Your heart cold stone
But love isn’t love
When you’re left all alone

You made me a promise
Then vanished like smoke
Now the words “I love you”
Just feels like a joke

But I won’t keep drowning
In oceans you made
You turned me to ashes
But ashes don’t fade
