Burning Down
April 6, 2010
Embers in my skull
Boiling in my chest
Body ready to explode
Skin crawling where you kissed
Venom seeps from lips so red
You couldn't help but touch
Visions dance inside my head
I've never loathed so much
Tearing of my fragile skin
Cracking of my bone
The real pain doesn't begin
Til you get to the soul
You shattered me to a million parts
I'd like to do the same
But obviously you have no heart
That's why the world's aflame
