Hopes Die

My hopes died long before you did
I kept it all inside, all the lost desire
What good would it have ever done
To share that I knew the truth within
I had for years been building the fire
To burn the house down when gone
My life was only good when with you
So knowing you would go killed me
I don't want anyone, I want nothing new
The firestorm of the burn never slows
It thrills me
To know I will be freed
From the finality and loss
Of the enormous cost
I can never pay, I could never give
And the frozen heart inside
Followed a burning of my life
I didn't commit suicide
I just burned all that lived
