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.
