Burn
Let's talk
Let's talk about those things we sweep under the rug
Left for the next time it becomes pressing
Let's talk about how your fingers lingered every time we touched
Or how your eyes followed my every move
You say they were just coincidences
But with every sip of bravery you spilled and tripped
Broke and revealed
You spoke in a way that sounded like proverbs and parables
Deep down we all knew the truths that you cloaked
Dancing around the scarring reality
Our passion burned and burned and burnt down all we had
Burned and burned down all our other paths
Burnt down our dreams and hopes
Burnt down everything all around us
We burned till we had nothing left
In the end with all the passion we felt and held
Everything just at the tip of our hands
Still with everything
We fell
