Lite My Pyre

If you wanted my beating heart You should’ve treated it right from the start Yet you set me on fire cause you hate yourself Watched my burning pyre As you berate yourself Now my carcass smolders In the ashes of What sickens me to call our love It gives me glee to see It blow away in the wind As if it was never there to begin And at last I am free again
