Literature Text

Why do you take me in,
Show me warmth
And expect me not to burn?
In all my selfishness
I run eagerly to your exposed flame,
Watch as it dances happily; content,
Hiding your own distress behind a thick skin-
A beautiful mask.

Why, why, why
I ask,
A repetitive drilling in my head,
Driving me insane at it's every sadistic knell.
I deserve not your warmth,
I warrant not your friendship,
I am fit for your hate; your scorn; your passion.
I, who adore you for yourself:
Your incandescent, unique nature-
The sparkle of your eyes at the mere mention of a thing you love-
Your excited mannerisms.
I, who would you take my life a thousand different ways had I the opportunity to offer it.
I, who would feel any emotion from you- so long as it were for selfish, old me.
I really don't know if I worded this right... Considering I wrote it straight into the text entry here on dA, it's definitely not a serious poem in terms of literary style. It's just a fancy to help relieve some of this pent up emotion <3
