Burn Sun Burn

Shallow waters resting God's cool breathe creating a wind, that blows away my disgust From the hurt that my heart stumbled upon The day I met you Blow Wind Blow Blow away all the pain that i felt, beastly slaps and punches Blow away all the foul names I was called The sex I was forced to have instead of more beastly blows Blow away the nauseous feeling I get whenever I think of how I could have ever loved Someone like you How sick of me allowing you to inflect such a negative energy in my life. How ultimately terrible of me to love you with all of my heart through it all What was wrong with me? What a nightmare I lived through all of those years While you sniffed away our lives and tried to take my soul away I ached, cried, kicked, and screamed for you I use to do anything to profess my love I even went to jail, ruined myself What a crying shame Shallow waters resting, the sun beaming down Burn Sun Burn Burn away my demented thinking Loving a heartless man Selling myself short of the Queen that I am The loving mother that I will always be Burn away any doubt I have about what I can achieve Burn away any piece of love that I ever had for this man Now I lay in the shallow water an look up at the sun As me and the earth finally become one
