You were cold, weren't you?
That's why you asked me to set myself ablaze?
Sure, I've been cold too,
My ability to stay alive left you amazed.

I guess it's why you asked again,
although I knew to refuse,
But you knew you were my only friend,
A situation you abused.

"For me?" always "For me?"
I gave in, I let you have your way.
I won't survive this, but this is how it has to be.
I guess I forgot I had a say.

"Forgiveness?" Now it's "Forgiveness?"
What? So you can burn me again?
"No." I said "No."
Because you've never been a good friend.

What's in it for me? To let myself die?
You think I forgot about me? Not this time.

I will not light myself on fire just to keep others warm.
I will not die so that others may live.
I am far more than the people that surround me.
I am far more than you know.
I am far more than you'll ever know.

I've come a long way and so I made it a poem!! I was just looking through old messages and realizing how much of a pushover I was and it inspired me to write a poem about it because that shit was embarrassing. This is the first time I've thought about the person this poem is about in years, that's crazy.
