Once an ember, I’m now an all engulfing flame Destruction in each and every corner. There is no safety, no comfort, no breath within my reach.

I need you to leave me. I need you to save yourself. Save our child. Save the life we always dreamt.

I need you to leave me. I need to see a smile on your face. I need to hear your laugh again. I need you to feel your heartbeat.

I am your demise. I am your chaos. Your pain. I am the one you bend onto the blade for. You walk barefoot over the coals in an attempt to soothe my implosion. I need you to leave me.

This fireous venom will always be lurking Impeded so far into my veins Wind in the wrong direction Can reignite my inferno

I need you to leave me. Let me drown in the flames Let me be consumed by the hellhounds Let me rest knowing there’s hope for you.

An ancestor I barely know Left a chest inside my fibers Hid the key inside my own secrets Hummed whispers guide the clues

I’m only allowed one item at a time One family secret revealed I pull out a bone dry bottle She tells me what I know Keep it empty to survive

We close the chest together Locks changed for my safety We’ll meet together again Once I learn her name

If wishes felt like rain, then certainly I am a storm.

He watches the storm rage inside me Observes the pressure building Caution gone, He tries to protect me. Wants to see me be okay.

Doesn’t he know how this ends for him? His love a fire burning roaring on I had no choice but to leave him in the ashes. He tries to pull himself back together, Loves me even harder.

Mania swelling like tornado sirens Depression crashing like thunder Broken dreams, broken hearts Skyrocketing down like hail I wanted to save myself Wanted someone else to save the day Wished and prayed that no would
