Burnt.

Stuck,

in a vicious cycle of you and I

as the hurt we feel capsizes,

our pain crashes upon us

with the familiar disguise

of all these forbidden lies

Through the pain and the hurt

I see the thoughts you keep aside

because you're too scared to get burnt

so all your most honest reactions,

you hide

If anyone could turn nothing

into something

I believe

You and I

could change the patterns in the sky

Defy the nature from which we're bred

Love is eternal, not blind or deaf

completely coherent,

more so than I to say the least

So from this I ask of you,

to be true

and if need be,

release the inner demon that

you call your beast

because unless you open wide

and tell the truth passed

the lies

we can never move on

from these people we've become,

these people we are

will lead us to our demise.
