Burning For You

I've bumped my head so many times
Losing myself to fit in so many lines
Preserving feelings harming mine
Struggling down to my last dime
Wondering what's the meaning of what's next
Drowning myself in heartbreak and sex
Giving my faith the longest stretch
Losing people I thought I knew best
Insecure, questioning the way I dress
Thinking my makeup constantly looks a mess
Stuck in hermit mode like baby birds to a nest
Overthinking and still failing every test
Still pushing, giving my resilience skill a flex
Until one day when I left my trip to my head
Pulled myself out of that dark hole in my bed
Catering to my desires instead
Allowing my mind to be the only way my body is led
Remembering I'll have plenty more sleep when I'm dead
Realizing I'm so close to my spark if I just jump off the ledge
Committing to my happiness and to my heart I pledge
Allowing my memories to be a visit to a grave
From that innocent girl I couldn't save
Boasting about the way she should've behaved
Until the day I set fire to her tombstone
And my mind moves into a newer home
Good or bad, every memory will be gone
Replaced times as the old ones smoke away like sage
And peace comes with age
Then I lay where you lay too.
And not only for me but I'm Burning For You.
