Burning Year's End
Flames lick at the edges of what only god knows;
 A year like another teenage girls I suppose. 
 
 Ups and downs, spin arounds, lurking at every turn;
 Scars and cuts, whores and sluts, searching for something to burn.
 
 On the outside pain turns to blood and tears spring fresh leaks;
 Because the girl on the inside is full of cracks and creaks.
 
 A fragile existence torn and tattered, at best stitched together;
 Best thing to think is this horrible year can't last forever.
 
 Everywhere you look, a new crisis appears in thin air;
 and the worst part is, the solution's just not there.
 
 Slinking down the hallways and spilling across daily surface;
 Fire is bright and fire is clean, so with that, into the furnace.
 
 World falls apart, pain inflicted from what each and every boy breaks;
 Another comes and another goes when one is recovering heart aches.
 
 City crumbles to a world of bleakness by the dreary December end;
 Days trn to nights and nights to days as you stand afar and wair their spend.
 
 What good is a year to start so blissful, and unravel to tragic destruction?
 When a 13 year old girl finds the whispered lies, fatal fall to corruption.
 
 Shredded disregards and forgoten memories lost in the night;
 A blaze to sweep the whole year clean, one flame to ignite.
 
 Sun burns, time turns erasing, escaping within a flame;
 The truest, purest, brightest we learn, that shall never ever be tame.
 
 But where is the fun in losing mistakes from which one can cathch?
 A springboard into a newer, brighter year: one single match.
