burned out - a poem

[tozion]

burned out
by rishi das

no one seems to understand
the way i felt tonight
my heart was soaked in gasoline
you took a match and watched me fry

the pain inside you cannot grasp
why did I fall for you
my heart is beating faster now
through every word I think of you

look me in the eyes and tell me
"We can just be friends"
don't lie to me again, i wonder..
how could i have found this end

you burn me with your stare, your calls
your text messages too
I'm just a fucking idiot
for wondering what could be true

if you saw the tears in my eyes
would you hold me close?
or would you turn away from me
and make me feel all alone

if i even disappeared
would you take time to find me?
or would you just be yourself
and tell me im not worthy

every time im crashing down
i feel my heart is frying
would you even notice me
if i was dying.
