an arsonists guide to having a god mentality

you said you like red

so i carved your initials in my hips

blood on my carpet

 

you claim to love god

so i worship you like one

your existence stole me from my future

i prayed to you to keep me

 

you told me you like fire

so i burnt myself with the lighter

with your cigarette butts left on my nightstand

i hoped to rise from the ashes

as something you might like

 

halloween is your favorite holiday

so i become a skeleton

nothing but bones in your california king

 

even though i ripped myself apart

to be just for you

and now i am nothing

i still hope you find something

worth wanting in the scraps of who i used to be
