My hands are shaking

Her words are breaking

My concentration and I can't tell her why

Can anyone hear me?

I'm almost screaming

My actions are leaving a trail of dead in my wake

How much more can I take?

I've spent the last year stoking this blaze

Burning this bridge we so carefully made

I'll sacrifice my time digging these graves

To make sure she leaves here unscathed

I'm barely breathing

From swallowing sentences

And now I see these words are only wind

I’ll collect the kindling

To burn down these pillars of memories

These burned words get silenced by the breeze

I've spent the last year stoking this blaze

Burning this bridge we so carefully made

I'll sacrifice my time digging these graves

To make sure she leaves here unscathed

Can I medicate these lapses in cognition with the answers

To the questions I'm not asking if you promise to be candid?

I've spent the last year stoking this blaze

Burning this bridge we so carefully made

I'll sacrifice my time digging these graves

To make sure she leaves here unscathed
