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
