Flame (at 13 or 14)

From behind a rainy window
My thoughts turning to the streetlight
I desperately search for you
Eyes skimming beneath the bright

The string connecting us just snapped
Flinging backwards, it stung my face
Wishing you were a chalkboard
and with a swipe you'd be erased

Has anyone ever told you people are real?
Not just pawns in your personal chess game
I hope someday you learn how to feel
So it burns like hell when you go up in a
Flame

  1. That is a pretty heavy wish. I can't think of anyone that I want to go up in flames today.

  2. Yea, I know. But this is a part of who I was and thus, who I am today. So, gotta share it and not be ashamed of where I've come from.
