Always the quiet one, the one who stays silent I'll continue to be quiet, not saying a word, Never calling your behavior out But, I'll write it down, make a note, create a mark For every time I've been disappointed, wronged, or hurt I won't let it out, but I won't forgive or forget Stored in my mind, chained in my chest
To strike that ever elusive ember Into existence once again Wrenching me from all-consuming melancholy, Let this hollow spark of mine burn free
Oh goddess of flame, Set this feeble heart on fire, Bind it to your name
Lies effortlessly blend with truth When they fall from your deceptive lips A soft voice murmurs in my ear, Sickly saccharine sweet
You spurned the flame, Turning love away
