showing signs
The fire used to burn so very brightly
My passion ran high.
Then changes I noticed so very slightly.
Made me feel I was a lie.
My fire burned, and now it's barely kept going.
I can feel it slipping away.
slowly death follows, darkness consuming.
My fire burning astray.
Barely kept lit by all that I can do.
Burning myself so the fire can continue.
Only if you understood what you already knew.
I'm the killer of all the happiness, not you.
But I can't help but feel.
My fire isn't the only one in danger of going out.
On both my knees I kneel.
And ask you to tell me what you're thinking about.
I can scream and I can shout.
I will end up slipping away silently.
I won't be missed or fussed about.
I won't linger in your heart for eternity.
It's going, going away
Second by second, a month fit into a single day.
You stay where you stay.
I shall move and go where I may.
My fire burning so low,
It's playing with my judgment and toying with my heart.
It's reminds me how little I actually know.
I need somewhere to start.
I want to stay.
Let the fuel run through my veins.
Lay where I lay.
Wash away the pain and the blood red stains.
Let the fuel run,
Let the fire consume.
Lets burn it all and hope for fun.
Then wait and anticipate for my doom.
