Burn Brighter

It's been a while since I've been inside of my own body. You took me to a place where my senses gave way. I don't think I've ever been happier. I understand that you always second guess yourself. But believe me when I say you're doing it right. Everybody else knows what they're taking tonight. You've got this game all thought out. It's smart on your part, I must admit; to play on peoples' fears. It's quite a different experience to wake up to the stars.

When you're burning down, what are you supposed to say? I want to make sure I'm absolutely clear. I wouldn't want that beautiful face of yours to shame me. The way you look at me now is bad enough. It's as if you'd rather be a thousand miles away; anywhere but here. For some time I didn't think I could blame you, but the tables have turned. We both know that. The fire is burning brighter than ever in your eyes. But maybe that light has always radiated from you.

It was never in my best interest to notice such trivial things. But all of a sudden, they seem to matter a lot more. To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed that drastically. You always tell me not to cross your path, but how am I supposed to listen to something that's completely imaginary?

You've always had some kind of fairytale world in your mind. Before, when you used to let me in, I was mystified. It's simply amazing how something so beautiful can come from such a train wreck.

I don't mean to be degrading, but it's about time you get what you deserve. You always complain about how I can never find the right words for this situation. I have a feeling these words aren't right either, but they're the best I have.

It seems a little harsh to tell you you look so pretty burning, but I wouldn't want to see you any other way.
