Keep away from fire
Did you not read the sign?
Your heartless desire
Burned away my mind
Every inch of my heart
Is yearning to be discovered
Seen and felt and loved
By the tips of your fingers
And when you retreat your hand
Your scent still lingers
I wish these feelings would go away
Drown in the ocean
Or be blown away by wind
But I know they'll stay
Keep me locked in slow motion
'Till the day I am skinned
I finally feel
like I'm me again
I haven't felt this good
Since I don't know when
My heart is not heavy
my mind is not spinning
My soul is uplifted
my life rebeginning
My future looks brighter
The path is made clear
My family is closer
My friends are more dear
I’ve learned many lessons
That got me to this place
But the greatest of all
Is to give myself grace

— The End —
