Light me up
How empty of me to be so full of you.
So selfish, to fill myself up,
and leave nothing of you,
for yourself.
Consuming.
Eating.
I will bury you.
Come up for air,
before I shove you back down,
with my torrid affections.
My horrendous afflictions,
tearing us apart.
But I know now.
It was not me.
How foolish of you
to steal my peace.
Because I'm going to come back
a-blazing.
Burning all that stands in my way.
I will let this fire build me,
not destroy.
Building the life,
I have always deserved.
You
If only you knew
that i drew your name on my heart
etching it so hard that it turned into a scar
But look at us now, we’re falling apart
Burning with a rage thats chasing away the dark
Yet there’s still a hole in my heart
Where your love once grew
Why does it echo still?
Why won’t it stop beating?
Why does it cry so shrill?
I can feel my ears bleeding...
I regret protecting you
From the screams of protest all around me
How empty of me to be so full of you
When all you did was drown me
In an ocean of tears
Proving my fears
That I am my own worst enemy
It was never you.
