A burning heart is beautiful
Beating frantically towards another day
Frantic and desperate
Putting on a show as it shrivels away
It's when it succumbs to the flame
That it is left behind
Blackened, caked with ashes
People push it from their minds
They said we were a perfect match
But all matches burn
Our spark set me alight
And now my heart is dark and scorned
As empty faces turn away
Towards another catastrophe
The embers sizzle into ash
And my heart is heavy with defeat.
