You were an arsonists
The flames you nursed white hot
Maybe that’s why I didn’t see them
You were bathed in their mirage
A deceptive glow
Fueled by love that you leeched
My pitiful heart stroking your flames
Oh how you reveled in it
My pain
My pain when you started to singe my heart
I fed my heart love songs
That’s how it grew flowers
Flowers you so loved to scorch
Oh how you laughed
And it warped me in darkness, your laugh
So much darkness it snuffed her out
Love
And so it goes
All the songs are deceased
My heart, it withers
Nothing to feed your flames
I have seen you on your kness
You crawl
Begging for parts of me I lost in your fire
I watch the ambers settle around you
The hole in my chest heavy
It’s turned to stone
