when the fire blows up, and the smoke engulfs the home we once knew is it a sign for me to start running? i bit too ******* the bullets as i waited six months flew by, now i'm stuck staring at this view
frozen, anxious, twice as vengeful when you left me "is it time to call mom now?" I asked you but you smiled a maniacal smile as the flames spread from where you left the matches burning i wish i knew better than to trust you to guard it
smoke and ash are all that's left of the home we took 20 years to build i tell you "there's no closure when our doors are flimsy clothes from your soiled dresser" clothes that were worn by people you said were just friends and still, you never showed any guilt
i shake my head and play off these misfortunes as if they're a dream as i fail and blame you for starting it as i curse you for burning a fragile house to the ground as if it wasn't the same house you lived in
the firefighters come and you tell the same sob story i'll side with the truth and resentment, they'll keep me company as you bury me remember this as the day when you burned out the good years and the betrayal of your only family.
