I think you like watching me go insane. You'll start fires out of nowhere to watch them engluf me in flames. Engulf us. You like the feel of a burn. You enjoy the scent of scorched memories. Charred shadows where we used to live and love. Your bed is gone, the porch is obliterated. The house is collapsing, Fire licking everywhere we've been. An everlasting light that I can't escape. Everywhere we've ever been... I can't go there anymore. I can't bear to see it; can't handle the heat. I'm jumping ship. I'm a creature of water, Gently ebbing and flowing... So I'll wash my hands of you, swim away from the memories and see where the current takes me. But, baby, it sure as hell won't lead me to you. We know better. The sea and I know love. This was never it. lmt
