every second i see you is another second spent in flames,

you can try to apologize, but you know that i cannot be tamed,

if it wasn't for you, i wouldn't be sitting alone at lunch or running
around teary eyed so much,

you told me that you would never hurt me- that i was the perfect girl..

but now you can talk to me or even look me straight in the eyes... and i
don't see why...

i look over my shoulder, and see you walking again and suddenly I'm standing
in flames trapped and pain is increased by a magnitude of ten,

you laugh and smile as you wrap your arms low around her waist and kiss
her lightly on the lips,

i turn away feeling my breath leave me and my chest heave tightly,

i just want to escape and never have to see that beautiful smile, and feel myself
in the flames as i burn,  

I'm not suicidal and I'm not even depressed,

I'm just all alone in the world.

and you took a part of me when you left.

i try and forget the pain,

and forget the hurting,

but the thoughts themselves are just too burdening,

finally, i just accept the feelings,

and embrace the pain,

it all drifts away, and starts to unfold,

i stand now not in warm fire.... but cold
