Consumed

Consumed

Curl up in a corner;

Close your eyes;

Block it all out.

Maybe you’ll forget.

Maybe you’ll let go,

Maybe you’ll be free.

Maybe the face you see when you close your eyes won’t haunt you,

You’ve got to let me know,

I’ve got to know if when I see it in your eyes,

It consumes you.

I would do it all for you if I could,

I would make it go away,

But she consumes you.

She holds your heart in her hand,

And she has broken it,

And it’s not fair.

But I will help you,

I will help you see,

Because your eyes are blinded by your tears,

And they won’t see the way.

Your heart doesn’t want to let go, to be free.

But if you go with me,

Far away from here,

You’ll see in me all you’ve missed,

All you’ve forgotten,

But you hold on, and you won’t let go.

Your life is tied to hers,

And that lets you go on,

Go on loving,

Go on living,

Go on consumed.

Where are you?

You’re lost within yourself.

And I’m consumed.
