BURNT

by pearljanedianne

I didn't know I was lyin' on a cold dark ground until you shined on me and gave me warmth. Your light made me see how beautiful life can be. I saw how you dreamed of a better change. I opened my eyes wider and I was finally awake. You being you, my eyes and skin were slowly getting burnt. I could no longer see what was far ahead. I was blindly attached to you that I chased you wherever you went. Beyond the seas and as far as my eyes can see, I ran towards you. I thought I needed the warmth and light that was yours. I got sick slowly, not knowing that it was you after all. The change you longed for was killing me. I was blind, hurt, and dying. Now, I lay on a cold dark ground once more. Chilling yes, but now I see the most beautiful view full of life and love. For I am I, and you are you.
