No one could see us
Until you smashed the windows

Then you took your lighter
The blue flame flickered
And gave birth to a blaze
The blaze devoured the curtain
Smoke engulfed the both of us
We were too stubborn and proud

Neither of us walked away

Now when others walk past the house
With it's grey walls and black dust
They look into the window
Where two specters remain

There's nothing left of us
We're just two specters that remain

I have been alone for many years
Haunting my own dwelling place
With crows, too afraid to approach
And human hearts beating in the distance

I wish I was dead.

There is no sparkle but only darkness
The moon casts a little light on my thoughts
I need to feed tonight
But I want solace and comfort

Everyone sees me as an enemy
A carnivorous beast, a form of the Devil
So I wish I was dead
Then the constant sting of loneliness
Would finally go away

Why did I let this happen?

My beating heart started pounding
Electricity sparked through every vein
A fire started in my brain
Till my system was overriding

Everyday I needed you to leave
My pounding heart wanted you to remain
With no sense left I became insane
Arteries exploded and you let me bleed

And for what?

I remember laying there almost dead
Mom's words entered my conscious thoughts
About how you were seriously flawed
Though I tried hard to forget it

But guess what?

I still want you back.

The fire ran wild
why did I allow it?
your eyes sparkled like sunlight on the waves
why did I believe it?

you started the fire
the furnace that spread far and wide
it even reached my stubborn heart-
which burned like a twig in a flame

then you disappeared
like a frightened bird that takes to the sky
you left me to deal
with the scorching heat alone
and afterwards the all consuming smoke

and even now
after the monsoon of tears
has flooded out memories of you
the burn marks remain
the scars even spell out your name.
