flashback

I can feel her creeping back into my blood stream

The anger, she's unravelling again

The veins in my arm are pumping flames I thought I'd put out for good

But you, you've ignited them

Flicked your selfish lighter

I'm on fire

My chest constricting with your apathy

Suffocating me

And slowly

I shrink

Deplete

Revert back into that girl

Who could not control her affect

Running on a constant adrenaline high

Dear god I'm on fire and I'm praying for someone to put me out
