It’s pride that courts loneliness

And more than anything I want to be light

More than anything I want to learn how to love this world

I suppose that’s why I fall too quickly and hold back so forcefully

To not fall into the chasm-

And he told me once, you should never worry about caring too much

I hear those words bloom like a rose in my head-

This story can’t be new

And who could possible care when the ocean is covered in spilled oil?

But still, there’s this heartbreak

There’s this secret I want to tell

There’s the fire I don’t want to burn out
