Spark

Caution: I'm flammable.

Don't light the part of me I've worked so hard to smother.

Don't tell me things I want to believe.

(even if they're true)

And don't give me something to hold on to.

I need a sheer drop beneath my feet.

(no hope)

No one to trust.

And no dreams that aren't nightmares,

because these are the things I know how to handle

Everything else makes me feel.

(and all I feel is pain)
