Heart on Your Sleeve

Pour your hope into me

This cancerous addiction

Sick intoxication

Lose yourself in that place

Lend me your pain, dear

I linger with the taste

Longing to consume

But everything I am

Everything that burns

Will be ashes

In my tinder box

With the broken lock

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have no real way to explain all the references because they are all quite personal and relate only to me.  Sorry.  I will say this.  Its about a person who loves someone else, wants to be there for them, but cannot because they feel like they would make the situation worse so they just hold in all their thoughts and feelings and desires and keep them to themselves and just hold on to all the memories they can.  Yeah.  That is the best explanation I can give without a full on breakdown of my life.  LoL
