embers

I lay into my comfort, whispering into the dimly lit room
I love you, I love you
Faded colors of orange and yellow still haunt me
I feel the twilight's embers burn
With every sweet intent, exerted as unbridled anger
My chest is exploding, my chest is exploding

Leaving me screaming
I love you! I love you!
(I love you!)
Slammed in my wrist!
These twisted stems!

This new feeling won't last!
I beg, I beg for your hand!
Your hand!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!

Pouring out her chest, her sweet flowers lay wilted
She feels their pedals sink between her fingers, leaving nothing but dried carbon
Grab these lavender thorns and shove them into my wrists
Maybe I'll feel something different she yells

Her liquid runs across her skin, starving for more
She continues to slam those twisted stems into her arms
Oh God, oh God, oh God: She repeats internally
Wondering how long these newfound scars will take to blossom
Little does she know, cutting through her own skin will find no flowers
Yet she continues to wail

Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!
Why did I dare to love you!

Slammed in my wrist!
These twisted stems!
This new feeling won't last!
I beg, I beg for your hand!
Your hand!
