Burn

by Twan - Aries

Listen to me as I speak to you
Listen to everything I say
Even though the last time we spoke
Was only yesterday
Try to understand
The words seeping into your brain
The acid that my words carry
transforming into pain

Whisper into my ear 
things you cannot fathom or explain
Look into my eyes and see again
Whoever it was I had with lain
I lie again and over again
I try to protect the core 
but everything I ever said
Only heaps it on more

Look away, but turn your head
Let me make it clear
The only thing I'm afraid of
The only real fear
Is everything I ever worked for
falling over and tumbling down
Strengthen I cannot do
I'll see you around

What was it I wanted to say?
I had nothing to do 
I burned, I broke, I cried
All because of you
I shattered into pieces
But I finally learned
That the next time I get hot
I should just let myself burn.
