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
