Analysis of flower of flame
a million hurtful words, fighting to come out
yet what I chose was silence
we don't deserve that verbal violence.
at least not from me
you spout off in heat
"insufferable", "stooped so low". defeat.
"you're single now?"
oh boy what a leap
you're a fire a snowball, come tumbling down
nothing will stop you, dare to try it you clown
am i talking to walls, am i speaking in space,
how did we not see this when face to face
from a distance it shows
your petulant pose
how could you flip like that? who knows
from past misfortune distrust and your lust
you're a shaky a fiery a beauty disgust
as i type you still gripe, do i give in and reply with your spite and this smite
if i let the time pass you won't come around,
no
that is not you
my once loved
