Wicker Man
Push me aside,
I'm an obstacle, right?
You need that goal so tempting, so rich,
So you push me aside.
A red flame, a blazing blitz,
A rich burn consuming my skin,
Your droplets of hopeful flames,
Dance my skin to remains.
How many times can the wicker man burn,
Before the glow within my lava flow,
Rips to bits pouring through.
A love with a mother of the unknown,
Treasured flowers and vanity growth,
All left as I'm pushed aside, placing duty above pride.
Thought I was a phoenix but maybe I'm dumb,
Each burn and cut left me further undone,
Screeches of serenity, mental abuse,
It wasn't just you.
How many times must I burn,
Before my flesh turns to bones.
It's very clear I'll take no more,
It's about time my hand shows.
