It's a strange feeling
Like melting glass
Only glass doesn't melt
It fractures, like pieces of broken heart
Sharp, like your voice
Like your tongue
Vile

Am I the one who is melting?
Or is it your turn to take the blow?
You always had a good aim
Just sometimes you let it backfire
Fire back into your heart
Ripping you up
Like paper

Do I know you from somewhere?
I recognise your face
I know your heart
But I've lost you
Or rather, you lost me
I'm not sure which way round it is
But I'm lost
I'm cold

I can't really blame you for anything
You're fragile
I can tell from the way you look at me
Cold, like glass
You're trying to burn me up but you're frozen
Falling through the cracks of time
Always falling

I should let go
But a tentacle of memory keeps latching on
Unwilling to fall back through the cracks
I remember everything we said
Everything we did
Every smile
Every time

But my time is up
I know I'll keep going
Even though I can't see through the fire
There's a flickering silhouette between the flames
Reaching out
Calling out
Saying
"Let go"
