The Torch Bearer

I come to your class,you put your head up and I ask you again to"come here"I even showed you the note in my hand but you shook your head 'no' and said you wasn't coming That's when my heart flooded like a drain that needs plumbing I walked away with my head down,because down was my soul Cast down by your rejection into a pit of the unknown Throwing the flame that burns me now,you don't even care You laugh at my ruin,you put gasoline on my flare You made me what I am now,a monster you've created So now you're destroying your creation,so lonely so hated The bearer of my doom,the nightmares that I fear The bearer of the torch that created the flames I wear I thought you liked me but I know now that I was wrong By the sound of your laughter like one of hell's songs I cry tears of emptiness but that will never help extinguish the combustion of emotions I have felt That will never extinguish the fire in my soul and mind The bearer of the torch throwing your flames to find out how long it takes for them to swallow me up and scorch me,blaze me until I've had enough
