Backwards Pride
Hearts desires pushed aside,
giving all I have left inside.
Self-subdued all for you;
hope for passion renewed.
Left waiting, pouring out.
Binding desire swallowed
fighting the blaze, left hollow.
For love, for you, self-denied.
To myself, maybe I have lied?
Left waiting, pouring out.
Desire bound with love's passion,
now bitterness burns a heart ashen.
Outside, words trying to inspire;
Inside dying, lying on the pyre.
Left empty inside, poured out.
