The warning signs were all there
Was I too blind?
Or
Too stubborn to see them?
Last night while I kissed a boy
You bought a gallon of gasoline
Last night I was lifting weights
You doused the inside of your car
Last night I jumped in the pool
You sat in your car and held a lighter
While I held my breath
You released yours
While my body froze in the icy waters
You were ready to light yours on fire
When I got the call
I felt my heart fall
The flame didn’t ignite
Your heart is still beating
You are alive.
