I Liked You Better from a Distance, with Your Clothes Off

Wildfires in my condemned heart
Spread like infections in the shallow dark of my hopelessly desperate bedroom
Lit firecrackers hanging from the corners of my melancholy sheets 
Like romantic candlesticks with deceptive intentions 
Ready to pull me apart into their flames

She said
She’ll never love me, it always dies at my open door
I’m just a maniac who will never get past the blinds
So I shouldn’t waste my time 
Or my breath 

Lipstick and blush stains on my eyes 
Under my thin skin and all over my heart attack
Bury me beneath my bed 
While perfume drugs me and goes to my head
I’ll be just fine with my dreams of her pretty little figure dropping dead
