May 2014
Set me on fire and don’t let the rain pour
Leave me indifferent
Dishonor, I choose to come to light
Run as fast as you can
Fast as your legs will let you
I have crusted your rosy lips
Covered your freckled face with tears
Dried up your ocean eyes
And tainted your beautiful mind
For I’m not what you need
I’m the foundation of your heartbreak, the seed
The sun that burns bright in you
Will soon weaken if you stay
Please, I beg…  
Mercy is not your obligation
Set me on fire and don’t let the rain pour
The scent of liquor and stains of red wine
Dirtied the sheets
Along with my innocence and your elation
I have shamed you, you deserve more.
Please! Set me on fire and don’t let the rain pour…
