The Truth

Walk with me to my blackened room,

I'll follow you anywhere, 

I feel protected when it's you. 

I'll show you my dark places,
You help me light the lights,

One by one,
With your fire,
The fire that's in your soul.

The same fire that burned me too deeply,
That reached places I didn't know could burn,
And consumed me whole.

Even now, years later,
I'm still trying to understand,
Why I'm clawing at the air,
Why I still can't breathe,
Why the scars refuse to fade.

But now I see,
You lost your shine to someone else.
You shone,
And then you turned to ash.

If I was brave enough now, I'd share that fire with you
The one that was once yours.

Because I'm still burning inside
With your fire,
And yours alone.
