I realize now, terribly late,
that every time I was promised forever
I was desperately clinging into this big idea
that people can, and will, burn the world into staying
but the truth is, apart from tragic fates
there is an option, equally heartbreaking:
they can choose to leave, if they want
very few arsons are worth the trouble
and I've lost the ground I walked on
I've missed shots and ignored markings on walls
I've obeyed like a dog, too afraid to be left alone
sat and rolled into places I never should have gone
because I thought, surely, their tongues will speak of me
even martyrs need an audience, even
my father will look at me, one day,
dawn before the full moon
and the times I've tried tasting it
(forbidden fruit, dark poison on my lips,
stinging 'till I showed my baby teeth, crooked)
it's slapped off my hands, crimson glass shattering
they understand what I've become
in my reckless pursuit of constants;
they look with horror and disgust,
a cracked mirror that can never work again
// on people pleasing //

If my lips could speak it
I think it would end us both
for you are not ready for the warmth
(you were raised in the cold,
learned to be a stone before you
deemed yourself a coal, and
you find every fire a menace)
and I've been burning for so long
that I might just turn to ashes,
should I let you know
how I've been sitting, weeping, wilting
ever so slowly
People see what they believe;
you, made of honey
guarded by wasps,
me, made of marble
frozen in time
But don't they see it? How I
carved my heart to keep you safe?
How I'd stand in front of any winds
that want to blow you away?
Don't you see it? Do these lips have to move?
Must this throat ache before you see
that I am waiting, mouth open
for you to stick to me, sweet and golden?
I've been an ancient mountain
waiting for the spring
and you have been the snow
ready to melt and run through me
a flame reborn (lan zhan's monologue)
