Break Me

Tell me boy 
do you know how to heal a broken heart?
You’d swear you’ll shatter me
maybe that’s just  what I need.
My heart was burned years ago
maybe you’re a spark. 
I’ve called you an Eagle; 
Maybe I’m  a phoenix;
Burn me completely 
so I can rise;
I know who’s to blame.
It’s not you. I could see your flame 
coming a mile away;
no way to avoid a head on collision 
 I know all about a bad decision 
Tell me boy
do you know how to heal a broken heart?
You think you’ll break it.
I told you not to underestimate me 
You are exactly what I need
I see exactly what you are
never tried to change you 
never asked for what you won’t give 
Come at me and break my heart.
Just leave behind the ashes.

" I could see your flame coming a mile away; no way to avoid a head on collision" This tells me right away, you gave him a chance, and it makes me feel happy!
