light me on fire one last time
when it's cold, let me warm you
feed my letters to the flames
make me eat my words
"I'll love you forever,
I'll never leave you"
let me go, but before i leave,
light me on fire one last time
dispassionately,
let me cook you dinner
let me light the candles on the table
let me leave before you pour the wine
the blood is mine,
kiss me, kill me,
light me on fire one last time
release me
with eyes bloodshot and brilliant
sharpen your kitchen knives
eat me, cremate me,
light me on fire one last time
my smile is warm, my cheeks are red
blushing, burning in the firelight
red, blood on the ledger
mistakes fade into ash,
into the clean black of night
all that's left is:
light me on fire one last time
