I hope you know,
You blazed me up.
But you did not fuel up.

You may have thought I raged.
But darling,
Your nurturing coals is leaving weak embers in no time.

So I burned in parts instead.
Whenever the right wind blows me,
There's still a part to set fire.

In little pieces I chose to get burned.
I hope you know I survived this way.
Losing is better like this.

It doesn't hurt that much this way.
It doesn't scar deep that way.
It weakens my knees but I'm alright anyway.
