My love for you sparked like fireworks

It wasn't even romantic

I just loved you for you

You were heartbroken,

And I wanted to be like your older sister

Someone you could turn to for wisdom,

But you treat me like a fool

You take advantage of me and how I would do anything

You don't like to see the fireworks

So I hid them from you

Now though I am standing up

My fire growing bigger

These fireworks of mine sprout from me

Arising from my toes

To my belly

And out of my chest

Always aimed at you

Becuase...

I want you to see my fireworks

I want you to take my love

I want to be the girl you call sister

I won't back down now, no

Not even if you have someone new to love

Someone new to cling on

I want you to turn to me

I'm not like your friends

Your secrets won't leave me like they leave theirs

I have so much wisdom to provide you

That your pathetic friends don't have

Or are too strung out on the couch to say

Who are trying so hard to be something they can't be

They're so f***ed up that they can't help you

Yet...

You suck in their words like cigar smoke

Thick and heavy.

And you're dying in your dreams

To the point that my fireworks can no longer be seen

I'm sorry you're dying addicted to nicotine

My passion is no longer a cure

But when you die

So do I

As soon as you can no longer see my fireworks

As a beacon to safety

I know you'll have left this world impure.
