Remember when you lit me up
Like i was light to my own somber thoughts
When you decided to burn me out
Like the matchstick you've just thrown

What used to burn so brightly
has now been all used up,
just wax on the floor with nothing left to light

You keep on testing the waters
When all there is are waves
That never stay

You see
all i have now
is my playful little mind
and the regrets I turn into
metaphors

I've lost myself in every way possible.*

Because when you allow someone to love you so strongly

and then you leave 'em hanging,

*That's what happens.
