My emotions will always hold me back in your eyes.
Being too much seems to be my only strength
And being distant from those around you
may very well be your only disguise
I crave the warmth beneath the shade
So bright, but not disturbingly so
Not strong enough to burn your finger tips
But enough to know when the heat starts to go
If only my light was that protected
No one could get rid of such a spark
There wouldn’t be enough hatred on this earth
To dilute the tenderness in my heart
You say i’m overwhelming
As if passion has ever been easy
You say I need to lessen my spirits
With a tone that’s only condemning
I think it’s time I say goodbye
To this broken glass covering
Some things aren’t meant to be
Our dynamic’s only suffering
It’s time for my own lampshade
Intricate designs on the outer shell
Light shining through each entry
No longer confined to a cell
I’m adjusting to my new shine
So perfect on its display
You no longer hover over me
For my intensity to decay
