Exposure

You would take the piece of me that I know you don't see

Just to break apart the threads that hold this together

If I would leave my whole self exposed

You'd let me fall apart and leave me there to burn

I could never fit into the framework you set for me

Just to snuff out the flames that brought me somewhere better

If only shards of glass remain you'd say it was meant to be

To feed your own dichotomy that leaves us for dead

If I would bathe myself in your light

You'd tear me from the ledge I've built
