_To Jess_
She wanted to bury me alive
but i will (not) hand her the shovel
to dig my grave.
She wanted to ignite me
but i will (not) bathe in gasoline
and revel in the incense.
i almost thought i saw heaven
when hell had me at hello,
almost.
But i am flesh and fire,
i am iron and ice.
Do I burn?
And burn and burn,
reduce her
down to
ashes
and
(if I have to)
light the torch
to My lungs, My bones,
My skin, My blood and My sanity,
Burn and burn and burn until
nothing
is left of
Me
just to cremate her?
(*as I yell with shortness of breath,
"sic semper tyrannis!*")
or do i fall
and let her take all?
