Burned out

I am learning how to  love,
Yearning, desiring, aspiring
To get something for me

I have burned myself to the bone
Touched fire with my bare hands
I wish I knew a limit

Secrets, secrets,
I wish I held myself close
I am tearing the past apart

God forbid me to hope
As I only see my bones now
As I have burned myself out

To keep others safe and sound.
