Poetry & Self-Awareness

I close my eyes and I get flashes
Messed up and happy flashbacks, setbacks
Remembering the times, you used to lash back
My heart feels like it’s soon turning into ashes
Because it felt like I was missing all my chances
Soaked eyelashes, my wounds covered with patches
Fighting strong for your compassion
Saw me crying and never took action, classic
Can’t blame my heart for turning into ashes
I needed your fire, you denied you had matches
Fighting hard for your compassion, almost led me to a casket
