Wouldn't you like to see me burn?
In the innocence of our begining
We exacted the design for a solid union
Two individuals avidly prepared
To embark on a glorious journey
One of loving and learning from each other
As a duo we would tackle the enigma of life
But then..................
Somewhere along the path
Something became tragically distorted
The ride began to shake
And your personal hang-ups
Triumphaned over your heart and mind
Now, the affectionate shoulder to lean on
And the sympathetic ear as well the largest
Stone from our foundation have all crumbled
The outline of the ideal destiny has become blurred
The heart wrenching revelation came around
On that fateful day when you chose to use
Your soul mate as a personal trash can
In which to release all insecurities
Flames of anger radiate from within
Am I now nothing more than a candle
Whose wax you selfishly desire to mold
And reshape in the image of despair at will?
How better than to harm those once cherished
Wouldn't you like to see me burn?
Slowly dissolve into a useless pool of defeat
As your self-esteem has been abruptly
Snuffed out like that of a flame?
I have accepted it is what is
So, Your treachorous descent will be solo
The passenger has departed
As you destructively manuever
Down a dead end street
Gaze upon a vacant bed at night
As I have beheld the void in your soul
The pots and pans have grown cold
Not unlike that of a tainted heart
The emotional safety net has snapped
Maps can be re-routed
But your candle will no longer ignite
Guess who you have to blame?
