burn it all by Amanda Condon

Read by Connor Arnold

if we were to end
i would need to burn my room
my house
from floor to ceiling
trash all of my clothes
change the style i wear
scrub my skin so hard it bleeds
i would have to
p e e l
my skin off
drink lighter fluid and light myself up
to get the feeling of you
off of my skin
out of my bones
free of my nerves
i would have to shave my head
i would never be able to
write
hear any music or laughter
do anything
ever again
years of you
and nothing left of me.
