Burning Myself

If it hurts, at least I know what I feel is real

So goddamn masochistic

Let it hurt, I think

Just let it hurt

I'd prefer the pain she inflicts over letting go

I can't imagine a future she’s not a part of

It's like holding your hand to a flame

When you get burned ​­

You blame the fire

Though the fault is your own

Beautiful... sometimes it feels just like this.

Somehow you just put into words the last year of my life.  Thank you for this.
