How empty of me to be so full of you.

So selfish, to fill myself up,

and leave nothing of you,

for yourself.

Consuming.

Eating.

I will bury you.

Come up for air,

before I shove you back down,

with my torrid affections.

My horrendous afflictions,

tearing us apart.

But I know now.

It was not me.

How foolish of you

to steal my peace.

Because I'm going to come back

a-blazing.

Burning all that stands in my way.

I will let this fire build me,

not destroy.

Building the life,

I have always deserved.

If only you knew

that i drew your name on my heart

etching it so hard that it turned into a scar

But look at us now, we’re falling apart

Burning with a rage thats chasing away the dark

Yet there’s still a hole in my heart

Where your love once grew

Why does it echo still?

Why won’t it stop beating?

Why does it cry so shrill?

I can feel my ears bleeding...

I regret protecting you

From the screams of protest all around me

How empty of me to be so full of you

When all you did was drown me

In an ocean of tears

Proving my fears

That I am my own worst enemy

It was never you.
