I kept it safe
Kept all I loved in a cage
Wanting to be saved
From these thoughts and their rage
Becoming a part of me,
They hurt them and me
Flames in my veins
Only distraction set me free
Even it had a price
I had to see tears in her eyes
Such fear of me, such hate for me
The tears told me nothing but that,
I was a pathetic waste of life
Unworthy of love
That I'd never be a bee in their hive
But if try, I'd cross the road to the other side
Accepting, apologizing
For all that I've done
For all that I've become
Maybe I'd learn to love these flames,
Learn to stop feeding them with all the self loathing
One day, I'd make it to the other side.
