I Light Up At the Thought of You
And I burn all the way to ashes every single night,
my body refuses to let me rest as I cry.
I won’t be better until I have nothing else to give into,
and nothing else to get haunted by.
I burn for hours until I'm nothing but dust,
smoke floats out of my smile, my eyes are charcoal fire,
shining dim in the night until the flames die,
I wake up the next day to burnt marks on my walls.
