Lately I've felt hatred

Not just with myself

But others as well

I try not to

But I do

I can't stop

I don't think I will

The fire burns on

And if it goes out

I go with it

It's scary to try and be happy

It's what he'd want

I wrote him a letter

It makes my heart ache after reading it

It's as if someone

Is tugging on you heart

Really hard

Trying to break it

I know I'm crazy

But my world's changed

It's black and white

Like the colors of his fur

And rain falls on my face

Blending with my tears

If anyone asks

It's lint in my eye

Or an eyelash that fell off my eye

It's never the truth

Always a lie

When people ask

Are you okay

My answer is yes

My conscious says

Clearly not

I got to start writing again

It feels good to be back

But it also sucks

Cause I can't do anything about it

Anything to change it

Anything to change me

Maybe he was right

Maybe I am a monster

Lately the fire burns bright and high
