The feeling beacons me,
The race enthralls me,
The beat consumes me,
The trick?
I get lost.
So lost I think I mught never get found.
I see flames.
I *feel* flames.
And you used to save me.
Every single time.
But now?
You stand back and laugh.
And that laughter mocks me more than you know.
You used to bring me joy,
Love.
But now?
All I ever feel is those same flames eating me alive.
Why, you ask?
Because I *know* there is nothing wrong with me.
You can’t stop feeling love.
And I know that means you stopped giving it.
Lives move.
They change.
People change.
But love *never* changes.
If your heart beats for me,
It will always beat for me.
If it dosen’t now,
It never will.
It never *did*.
I want to hear it,
Hear you say it does.
But I want more than a phrase.
What’s wrong?
Everything.
My world.
Yours.
Those flames again.
They’re tearing it apart.
But your laughter never makes it better.
It never saves me.
My purpose?
To let you see,
This isn’t easy,
Love.
To show you,
You aren’t what I need.
I’m conveinant.
Love me,
And we might see.
Say it,
Now,
And forever,
And we *might* see.
What am I saying?
Should I draw a picture for you?
Can more words imbed it farther?
Or are those flames,
My flames,
To blinding for you to comprehend?
What I’ve been telling you,
With more words,
But less meaning,
Is good-bye.
