Burn After Reading-

To get rid of everything
I must submit to loss
No, I never wanted these things anyway
They were never mine
Without them I'll be fine

How can one release everything
Distribute it into the universe
Shred all the documents
Burn all the letters
Will I regret destroying the evidence of our existence

Yet to be free...
The enticing pull
To have no more leash
To walk out on my lease
To finally be at peace

Is it the stuff
The material possessions that matter
Is it the love
That has burned out in disaster
Which one pulls harder

The opposing feelings of hanging on
The lingering ache that things aren't over
Nothing lasts forever
There is a choice I need to make
It's unfortunate my future is at stake
