Burn

You wont find me
Condescending at your closed door
You wont hear how I feel
Say youve been there before

The holidays the hardest time
To fill in all the blanks
And you dont need anyone
To show you those mistakes

Wrap yourself up
In only math of our world
Fill up the holes
In your full heart with details

For all the riddles solved
And every puzzle you complete
Cant seem to find the pieces
To the heart that beats

Youll master every task
But always by the book
Then log it in your past
With risks that you once took

They left you then
Theyll hurt you now
Cant get too close to you
Or you will cut them down

And any fool can play
Ill raise the stakes
With another turn
We risk, we roll, we burn

At arms length
You never get hit
Too much to gamble
When you let someone in

My true friend Im spewing
And only one more positive
I just might spill some notable insight
I didnt think before I purged

So here I am attempting to
Unlock your closed door
I wouldnt break it down
Cause youd be gone for sure

You might say something nice of me
And send it in a card
Or under whiskey breath
Slur kind words at the bar

And youre sinking me
While you stay afloat
In the tank you built
We drop, well never learn
