The Burning

This cut that burns
Has brought back the thoughts
But not just the thoughts
The yearning like a calling in your mind
Asking…no begging for you to indulge
But to indulge is to regress
And that is failure
Failure is something I will not accept
I will not go back
To the ghost of my former self
For that ghost is nothing to me
Nothing but a distant memory fading away
I want it to be NOTHING more
