All of my demons stayed quiet
Because we all loved listening to you
He may love the best parts of you
Just as much as I did
But I also treasured
The broken parts of you
The jagged pieces you feared
The shards you cut me with
He may love the best parts of you
But I loved all of you

It went quiet
Not because it gave up
Bt because it was saving me.

It felt too much
So it chose silence
Over shuttering.

It held the storm
Behind closed doors
So I could keep breathing.

It's not numb
Just protecting
What's still healing
Why don't the heart and mind
speak the same language?

Is it because-

the mind matures
and
the heart remains a child?
Perfection is-
an imperfect word
in this imperfect world.

My love,
I'm never going to be,
That perfect fire,
That you want me to be.
I'm going to push and pull—
Burn you from the inside out,
Until all that's left—
Are ashes,
Of a once burning fire.

The haunting screams of a scorching,
Burn—I burn it all.
You looked at me
Like you had the sun in your eyes,
Until the sun didn’t shine anymore.
You loved the flame I had—
Until it burnt you.
I told you: I burn—
You touched me
With your bare hands,
Then blamed me for the—

Scorching scars.

Never looked at me the same again.
Put out my fire—
Still let everything burn to ash.
Burn, burn and burn it all! 🔥🥀
