Part of me understood
When you stood back from the flames

The heat was intense
In the deafening blast
And the pain unreal
How long could you last?

So no I didn't fight for you to stay
I didn't want you to hurt too

So tell me why
I watched you set
A bomb of your own
And drop a match lit

Close enough that I could see the blaze
And the girl you took down with you

You condemned my agonist
Made him a pariah
And left me in the ashes
To set your own fire

So you'll have to forgive my indifference
I don't care much for a Pyromaniac's burns
For M
