Fire
There's no hiding from pain
you're due. Your worst mistake to this day has been running
Pockets raining change and names
I watched you running
Fire
Open the wound ignored,
you knew would mend but ran just before salvation. Me?
I
Watched you running
I
Could only watch you run away
Little means anything anymore, now that it's known that you're doing well
Caught in the frame you left me inside, I rest now with gravestones
And in smoke
Imagination sets in as rain washes away soft spoken days we never wrote
Cold
To rectify mistakes
You said, "Your medicine's the same thing I've been taking."
Offered ears that I once gave
I gave up taking
Cold
Burns just as badly
when left to freeze instead of thawing, kept within wings
I
Gave up taking
I
Played it off, silently screaming
Never mind an antidote
Wild necrosis covers
what's left of trees
leaving black bones to tainted earth
