Screaming into the Oblivion

Embers

Breathe in the smoke

Exhale clean air

The bridge is burned

But you're still holding onto charred planks

Blackened iron

Burning embers

Stranded on the other side screaming my name

Sending ripples though crowds

Thinking I don't know you're "cursing" my name

And I wonder what you expect from me

Attention?

Apologies?

My undivided loyalty in everything I did with and for you?

But you didn't give me the same

So go on

Keep breathing in the smoke

I know for a fact you'll suffocate yourself before you'll change

I'll be sitting on my side of the bridge

Breathing in fresh air

And I'll down paths and roads

With the friends I've made

And you

You can try and keep yourself warm with the embers that float away

Keep the bridge smoldering

Do as you please

But do me a favor

And learn to let go

Or come talk to me face to face

Or let the embers die in the breeze

Because I know you were the one with the crutches

It wasn't me

Just you

Portraying your insecurities
