i lit myself on fire
only to keep you warm
and when you got too hot
you had no qualms about
putting out my light
you were the wind and i was a willow
submissive, bending to your force
branches torn and whipped, forgotten
in the wake of you
i was icarus and you were daedalus
except you gave me no warnings
and i was willing to your every wish
and so you sent me flying
into the hottest star
only to keep you warm
and when you got too hot
you had no qualms about
putting out my light
you were the wind and i was a willow
submissive, bending to your force
branches torn and whipped, forgotten
in the wake of you
i was icarus and you were daedalus
except you gave me no warnings
and i was willing to your every wish
and so you sent me flying
into the hottest star

before anyone says anything i am well aware that that is entirely not how the story of icarus and daedalus goes but that's what 'except' means and that's why it's ironic. bc they give no sh,,,ts
