Fire on fire

CATEGORY

first love

It was a rollercoaster

Waking up daily alone

Laying my body next to myself

With only bones to console

Having conversations with myself

Trying to convince this stranger

That I can call anywhere home

This depression is a test of faith

Now that I’m left to roam

You forced my hand 

But my wings still grow

It’s become apparent 

I need rescuing 

Don’t approach me

Unless it’s with spiritual healing

I’m finished willing and dealing 

With a narcissist

The one who poured the flame from his gas light

Said it could get us through the tough times

Fast track to my current state

I see the reflection in the mirror 

Yet I can hardly relate

I loved you beyond comprehension 

You were my soulmate

A decade of introverted passion

What I felt for you surpassed any worldly match 

Unfortunately the Universe had other plans

God placed you as an obstacle on my path

Gave me the free will to pick up the pieces from my past

Two kids convinced we held all the answers to cupid’s secrets

We were so wrong

I did everything to make it work 

Even sacrificed my worth

I let you shine like the king my heart aspired

Who knew it’d end like this

Fire on fire.
