Alis Volat Propris

This is the story of a fire
Started from a spark
Renegade paths embarked
The rain began to pour
Not a breeze to be sure
A suffocated flame
Will never be tame
Do not assume this heat
Is ours
Though it may have been
For a fleeting moment
Instead it is mine
No matter rain or shine
It will continue to burn

-

I, who continuously fought
For what you never sought
To keep alive
All you dowsed
A fire consumes
My very house
I continue to fight
But not for you
I am through
With shit treatment
Moving mountains for you
Alone
I deserve the very best
Settle for nothing less
My sweetest vengeance
Seems to be
Out of this fine mess
You lost me.

-

I smile softly, kindly
There is crazy in my eyes
I see through daily steps
Don't remember
The last time I woke up
And didn't roar to the sky
My feelings are always intense
Even when I sit quite still
Energy throbs constantly
I watch clouds cry
They are not ashamed or proud
Contentment is not allowed
Here in my boiling heart
I draw a line in the sand
Step over it
Draw another line
It's exhausting, this sand
Feeling like your stare
But now our eyes don't meet
And it is warm
This heart -
Broken and built
Understanding
You may be a god
But you're also a man
Angry and mean
No matter what
Immortal dwells in your soul
You can still be an asshole.

-

You're passionate, intense
Have built a brick fence
Despite your strong pull
And immortal soul
Your actions are cruel
This is no duel
I have collected a pool
Follow only one rule:
take care of my heart
riddled in darts
escaped from your hand
a heartbroken man
I have traversed this land
I know where I stand
I will never settle
For what you do
Bringing sadness and pain
I call out the rain
Challenge your indifference
Begin my resistance

-

Walk up to me, I dare you
Tell me who I am
Shower me with indifference
Watch as fire gathers
In my eyes, mouth, soul
Riddled me with bullets
Words that will pierce
Let your avoidance be fierce
Never will you know
Everything I don't show
You'll only watch me go
Stalk into the rain
Immersed in your pain
Let me feel your disdain
Walk up to me and say
How I've gotten in your way
Try to ruin each day
Your apathy is sweet
Your understanding is cute
But I couldn't give a hoot
I am flying to the sun
There's no where to run
With you I am done
