• The silence is so terrible
    That my heartbeat echoes
    Over and over in my head
    You held the match
    That you struck
    And then lit my heart on fire
    Making me feel so alive

    But when it started raining
    My mutilated ribcage
    Wasn’t enough to protect my precious flames

    And you seem
    To not care at all
    As I collapse inside
    And these days when I need you more than ever…

    You shrug me away
    And I am now a mere pile of ashes.
