About being with someone and them constantly changing you to suit themselves.

The sky is on fire

with a thousand ravage induced deeds

and you hold yourself in me

that way that brings me to my knees

with that inward glance

that says i will do as i please

and your mouth

from my emptiness it feeds

from that worn out heart of mine

a bleeding banquet of clouds, never divided

you chain me up, i am bound to your leash

amputation of any imperfections that i bare

is what you set out to destroy

leaving me lifeless, undecided

limbless, i am undone

reworked to you idealistic nature

symmetry to your broken lens

distraught you’ve beheaded me of my own thoughts

i grieve for the life i will never lead

you are the sculptor of me

your never ending masterpiece

telling me not to hold myself that way

but you’ve rendered me powerless

i cannot oblige with heart anymore

my core is numb, transparent in my ways

you are the fire inside my voice

the visions of sky i will always greet

even when the moon breaks its pardon over me

your blazing eyes still reach deep

threatening to change me on into the every day
