wildfire

by Raine Wynd

it's easy to hate you
in the shadowed darkness of my room
in the empty silences of night
the passion burns through me
all the anguish you caused
rushes through me like uncontrolled wildfire
lying in my bed, the covers bundled around me
i pick apart the scars until they bleed
and in the morning, wear them like badges of honor
i was betrayed, i was the victim, i was....
willingly blind to everything that wasn't said
blissfully perpertrating the myth that we were happy
keeping my hopes under lock and key
ignoring how this love was killing us both

it's easy to second-guess
in the shadowed darkness of my room
in the empty silences of night
when i can't hold you close
the ache grows like smoldering wildfire
