Sometimes... I want you to burn
I want to see you burn
But just sometimes
I want to see the pain in your eyes just like you caused the pain in mine
I want to see you cry all night just like I’m crying tonight
But just sometimes
I want to see you when you laugh and then suddenly stop because you remembered you’re not allowed to be happy
I want to see you be so mad at everyone for things they didn’t do until everyone forgets about you
But just sometimes
Sometimes... I want you to burn
I want to see you burn
But sometimes I don’t
Sometimes... I want you to strive
I want you to smile and go on with your life
I want you to never want to cry or be told
you have pain in your eyes
I want to see you strive
I want to see you love yourself even though I wish you’d love me too
I want to see you out laughing with friends and I want your laugh to be real
I want to see you strive
And for what ever reason you made me want to see you burn... sometimes
I want you to get over those reasons and apologize so I could want to see you strive... all the time
