What Changed?
My nerves were on fire, yet you poured oil instead of water,
I was set ablaze, without a single glance, you left,
I fell for a monster, I jumped into the lava, I kissed the pain,
And here I was lying, distraught, helpless, broken in the rain,
My hands slapped the tile beneath, why did nobody stay?!
My heart bled, in a crimson pool, and soon, my blood flew down the drain,
Screamed until I ran out of words, wet my eyes till they drowned in pain,
And yet there, I sat whispering, words laced with salty tears- "What changed?"
