Holiday Hurt

For Christmas you gave me five on the backhand side

Fourth of July was filled with fireworks

For my birthday 
A choker, crimson lips and an ache so divine

Addicted to my pain

Your passion makes these brown eye black and blue

Loving words danced with a grip so tight
So tight

I don't know who was holding who

But I’m letting go

Gravity can’t hold me down

I am the phoenix

Leaving the ashes behind
