Fire Man
close all the doors
and draw the shades
please bar the floor
i'll make a cage
you walked away
forgot my love
you couldn't stay
i'm not your dove
im just a man
a burning one
i hate my place
so now its done
my fire burns
invisibly
for all to spurn
though none can see
this heat is cool
it has no light
it chars so cruel
throughout the night
please put me out
please cover me
i beg and shout
though none hear me
i leave my home
tread carefully
chaos must roam
hurt only me
my dread and fears
have all come true
i burnt the tears
i've cried for you
i wish you all
that you deserve
i cannot call
you left me first
my friend is pain
i let it bite
we are the same
are flames are white
and we both choose
to waste away
we love to lose
but please just stay
or let the burn
consume us both
although i yearn
to keep our oaths
we said always
and come what may
despite the blaze
you said you'd stay
not violent
but see my flaws
you left silent
and broke our laws
i burn alone
your water gone
goodbye home
i was love's pawn.
