I open my eyes and hear you call my name,
Soft and silent like an empty road,
I glance around and feel the flame.
One that is burning ever so brightly.
A tune entrances my mind, it is your voice.
I follow the tune into the night, my legs.
begging for a choice.
I open my eyes and hear you call my name.
I feel you against my body, my rage surfacing,
Why oh why must you cause pain,
Why oh why must I feel I am worsening.
I glance around and feel the flame,
Burning my finger out of curiosity touch
My eyes are wide, full of shame.
Will this continue for eternity?
My ears ring as I drown you out,
Listening and pleading to be free.
My voice is filled with such doubt,
I open my eyes and hear you call my name.
