    NAMESAKE

    I slice at the flesh
    I feel the blood drip
    These wounds are open
    I would not wish this life on anyone but myself

    I look at the sky
    Blue with the sun shining
    I wish I was a bird
    I have never fallen so far, so fast

    The hurt belittles nothing
    Ruling like a monarch
    The ruler of my mind
    It is all-consuming and brilliant

    With the pain I feel whole
    But with you I don’t need it
    You’re a vibrant light
    One I can no longer live without

    Lest I die, remember this
    For I live with fear of being forgotten
    Just remember that I love you
    I always will
