Fiery tears

by Ali   Aug 20, 2005


These tears of fire,
are burning my face,
singeing it,
destroying it,
because of this painful truth,
standing naked in front of me,
and now i finally understand,
now i finally now the truth,
I finally know how you feel,
That you never cared about me,
that i was mistaken,
I almost laugh through my tears,
as if you could love me,
how could i be so stupid?
I never stood a chance,
I'm not more beautiful then her,
I'm not more charming,
i could never stand by her side and come out on top,
but i guess i thought you'd see through me,
see through my features,
to something truly special inside,
i hoped you see the person i am and love me for it,
But i guess i was wrong,
i can never be your sunshine,
i can never be the one you love,
i am just a foolish girl,
i was playing with fire,
i should have listened all those years ago,
when my mother warned me not to,
because now i have been burned,
by the fires of love,
i really believed you'd see through me,
to that special something inside,
but maybe I'm not special,
maybe i just wished for that too,
maybe there is nothing to see behind my face,
and that is why you see nothing,
i can't open the door to your heart,
instead i stand outside it crying,
i am locked out,
i am being swept away,
But you don't hear my heartbroken cries,
I am but a shadow of a thought in the back of your mind,
a shadow that is bursting into flames,
because i can't stop these fiery tears,
i am burning in my pain,
and soon there will be nothing left of me to find,
nothing but ashes,
small gray and minuscule,
and if you look, you'll see whats left of my heart,
small and charcoal colored,
burned and broken,
because i loved you,
and you couldn't return my love,
all i wanted was to give you my heart,
but i never got the chance,
i never got the chance.. . . . .
