one word can change everything

here's all I have left
as I open up my hands
and offer a picture of us
burnt to a crisp by
her memories of me

here are my letters
carefully chronicled
returned to sender
in a plain
white book we"ll
entitled
"I would rather go blind than to read these again"

these are our songs
I've a library of music
dedicated solely to her
even though she exists
between the third and fourth counts
of every song ever written

and
that is our future
just like a graduation speech
we are full of potential
open to endless possibilities
