Burn Poem by G J Salgado

Don't cry
We gotta try
Gotta make it work
You're gonna get your feelings hurt

We don't feel the same way
Save it for another day
Don't let your disappointments get in the way
The skies around us are turning grey
I won't turn my back so don't stay
Where are you going when you go away

Don't walk away from me
Why are you chasing me
You're suffocating me
I'm drowning can't you breathe
We're blinded now can't you see

Where do we go from here
How do we get outta here

So what do we do
You can't see me and I can't see you
I'm afraid to be you
You're afraid to be me
You're so blinded you cannot see

Why are you acting like a tool
I won't be played for a fool
I don't play by the rules
Why are we so cruel

We can beat each other into the ground
We can let it fade or we can fall out
We can light a match and watch it burn down
We'll make a fire and just watch it burn out

The flames are smoking red
Let it burn with all the things we said
Let's forget what we misread
Forget about it all instead
Let's put out the fire before we're dead

Where do we go from here
How do we get outta here
