All I know is how

black snow hails from the sky when you're not around

and I guess that's how you wanted it to be 

because now you're gone

and I'm walking through the ash all alone 

wishing for a way out.

My singed arms sing stories of better times

but now theres no one around to listen to my screams,

my pleas,

please help,

because I can't stand the thought

of me without you

My head is like a waterfall

and I'm overflowing with emotions

that I can't erase

because even though

you've never been anything but toxic,

I can't seem to forget your 

icy eyes and the kiss that left fire on my lips.

But now I know that ice melts away 

on a hot day and that fire is an unpredictable storm.

So I guess I'll keep pretending I'm okay

when on the inside I'm burning away and 

I can't even look at you for fear of being

engulfed by flames.

So instead I walk through clouds of smoke 

and smile to stop

my eyes from watering and

my lungs from caving in.
