I Burn For You
I was burning while you came blaming me for the smell of ashes,
blind to see you were holding the box of matches,
I was burning when you first laid your hands on me, tears filling my eyes,
as yours are unrecognizable,
I am struggling to break apart from you.
My heart is aching,
i hear you breaking all my things,
the person I fell in love with is fading
i’m too scared to lose you.
I join you, I am nothing.
