Burned

Every tear falls for a reason. Every cry has a meaning. Every laugh has an edge; every smile hides a frown. Everyone's world gets turned upside down every once in awhile.
Why don't you stay with me for a while? I just need you for a little while. We could always go back to the pile, of paper hearts, torn and thin. Just this one time, won't you let me win? Just this one time, won't you let me in?
You hover over me like a dark cloud. But it's better than nothing, it's better than not feeling anything at all. You always know how to break down my wall.
My wall of fears, that you always come too near--then escape, just as easily as clear water runs through dry fingers.
You always linger, but never linger long enough. It's okay, I'll be fine, I'm tough.
Here's my shattered heart; I'll put it on display, watch it crumble like clay. As I lay, down in the dirt, while you see me hurt. And you get burnt.
Burned from the sun rays; sunshine coming 'round, I am found.
Your dark cloud won't hover over me anymore. It's gone like a scab, a sore. As your ashes lay, I'll be going through another door, won't hurt no more.
