I see what you there all but an image is what I see of what is, what was, and what will. A silly hope, I know, but perhaps that image will be once not a image. Or, it could sit in the fire burning with the ashes like it does now.

The author's comments:
This piece is about when I thought I had the perfect guy, he turned out to be a jerk, and I broke his heart, but I had to do that, because I feared what would happen if I didn't, so this piece is about cleaning up the past.
