Consumed

In this life
i feel the suffering 
i understand your pain
and i know that 

you love all you can
these feelings are here 
you ache within 
and try to care 

but your heart it breaks
it hurts
it aches
everytime you say goodbye

trying to find yourself
day to day
learning to deal 
with the way you feel

Let yourself breathe 
and love 
dont fall away
stay clear of the fire
try not to consume the flame
