“I’ll be right back.”
you said.
I hadn’t seen you
almost all day.
(like you were avoiding me…)
Yesterday
I had been
your world.
(did you know I had something to tell you,
something I needed you to know…)
I had to talk to you
even if just
for one
minute.
(did you mean to leave me behind?)
They say
if they want you
you will know.
(did I misread the signs?)
I was wrong,
I guess.
(I just saw what I wanted to see…)
But you
could have been
upfront.
Why
did
you
lie?
(“I’ll be right back.”)
Baby, I’m not
a back burner
kind of girl.
(“I’ll be right back.”)
I’m the fire
in the woods
that will
burn
the
world
down.
You’ll come back,
and I won’t be here.
But every
charred sight
you see,
every
ash
left behind
will remind
you
of
me.

You are SO not a back burner kind of girl. It is so amazing that you know that and embrace who you truly are. The last stanza is so powerful. β‘
