Standing In Silence...

I try not to disappoint you.
But I never seem to get that right...
...It's never right....
Every time I see that look in your eyes...
That look of contempt...
It sets my soul -
ABLAZE.

Watch me burn-
Tonight.
Tonight-
Watch my soul-
Bleed the angry red fire
That always seems to consume me
Whenever you're around.

But I welcome the fire.
This fire of misery.
It comes to cleanse my soul.
It burns away all the memories,
That I'm constantly trying to forget.
They haunt my thoughts.

I just wish I could erase them all.....

But all I can do is shed a tear...
And revel in the flames...

So Much To Relate To, Great Write.

I Thought of You Today,
And What We Could've Had
For A Brief Moment I Had You
And Still, I Somehow Knew
I'd Have To Let Go

As a daughter of the Sun
I truly enjoy this passage,

quote:
But I welcome the fire.
This fire of misery.
It comes to cleanse my soul.


Continue to write it out...
most often,
that is the best revenge.
