The cigarette ash fell on my skin
as i listened to your old voice notes
It burnt my skin, but i didn't flinch
as I should.
but just swept it away casually like it
was nothing.

~unconscious self-flagellation.

But it felt like I was trying hard at
just casually getting past memories
of you like it didn't burn.

Thing is, It does burn and there is
not a casual effort to forget them.
