Be careful when you open up your heart

Blood is such a messy thing

It flows everywhere you let it

Into all the nooks and crannies it can find

And leaves behind so many stains and memories

All the cracks and all the scars

Bleeding yourself for someone else

Someone that can’t or won’t appreciate

The sacrifice you’ve made

Don’t set fire to yourself

Just to fan someone else’s flames

Or you’ll find yourself with nothing left

But ashes
