I want to spread the fire that stirs inside of me, to stir inside of you.
I want to spread the fire that stirs inside of me to stir inside of you.
My hands, like flames that ache to sear through all of you.
One day I'll see you, like I see you everyday:
a cracked reflection of what should be,
a burning bush of what is lost.
That day I'll leap to you,
a black figure full of pain.
That day I'll claw into your eyeballs like a cobra to a limping, aging mouse.
That day I will look at you, transfixed by what I see
and I will pour to you my flames and watch you burn away.
So that when I am blinded by the pain of what you've done each flame will whip you like a paper cut.
So that every time I think of how I love you you are attacked by the ghosts of your mistakes like the flashbacks to a rape victim or those that chain the rapist to his bed.
You are the disease that I must live with,
the jeans that fit just right.
You are me and I am you and there is no end in sight.
I hate you like I hate the stench of bills around my head,
when I lay in bed after I said I love you,
after a day of me looking into you and smiling as you slowly burn away.
