Writing Letters To People and Burning Them

1. My therapist told me
2.  for difficult folk,
3. To write them all letters,
4.  and then, up in smoke,
5. You set them on fire
6.  and watch them all burn.
7. You'll find that your grievances
8.  never return.
   
   
9. So with those instructions
10.  I sat down to write
11. Then as she suggested,
12.  I set them alight.
13. Some people died screaming,
14.  some died in their sleep.
15. I've still got those letters
16.  stacked up in a heap.
