I dont understand
why you keep doing this to me
you said you'd give me warning
so then i would be happy

But instead he just walks in
and you won't do what you said
do you like hurting me?
like seeing me so sad?

I have my issues with dad
I have my issues with Bricker
now I have them with you
all because of the new Mister

Its a slap in the face
its a punch in the gut
it shreds my heart  into a thousand pieces
and you don't give a ****

Oh, Wait
thats all you want
That is why he's here
I'm sorry, I forgot

Mom I wish you'd stop
or You'll lose me too
I'm tired of being hurt
being hurt by you..

"Do not stray too close this way" said the Flame to the Breeze.
For in truth he was once a whirlwind, caught in himself, who'd scorned and sinned and choked her to an ember

A little flame. Warm, brave.
Fills the wind with much trepidation.
His shame, her pain, their past, regret.
He yearns so much to roar and rage
to be that breath to coax the flame,
once again, into a conflagration

But alas,
He does not wish to be so brash
to ask for more than bricker brack and banter.
For if the tale's to be told, it must be told in candor

He fights the urge to be bold. To howl, to squall. To not be too much, yet just enough,
To stoke the coals of her gypsy soul.
Untill it's light is bright enough she sets the world to cinders

— The End —
