Let Her Burn

this happens all the time

fuck forgiveness

it's a broken word that burns

and breaks my heart over and over again

if words could grace my veins with razor blades

i know what you do

i don't blame you

i died that night

with the things you only typed it's just as well

you slit my throat with the fucking things you wrote

and carved and cut in me

so sweetly

cut and kill

my scars are healing up as my heart is standing still

and this sound my wrists all open up

as my body's breaking down

and i hope you smell as my body burns in hell

i'll trace your waist with razor blades

far away hidden by these trees

here in this hell

all the trees are burned

you taught me how to fall apart

the bright white curtains exhale dark black breath

and bright red tears

i catch the ash from the falling walls

and bless them on the palms of my hands

and as the smoke hits your lungs

the seven angels from the pages i've burned becomes eight

as you're cast away

to everything turn

and though we are in the bowels of Hell

we shall have the eyes of angels

a time to cast away souls

the open skeleton of a roof we once called a house

supports the beams of fire

that hang like halos over our heads

like a halo or like a judge

to stay or break and fall

the story of my life

this story full of state lines and straight lines

from a steady hand that cuts and bleeds

follow the knife to a trail of weeds

and pieces of dirt i'd rather be beneath

my death is the door locked

my death is you leaving

like the waves of a gentle rain

that swallows the fire

light the match and lock the door

flames dance on our backs

but broken hands can't put out fire

or un-latch locks

here in this hell all the trees are willows

and the leaves are melting carpet fibers

the clouds are smoke stained sheets

and our god is this fire

all the rooms are burning down

let her burn

set the fire

light the match

let her burn

and like before i won't break or let you burn
