Light My Pyre

Heart awake

Shadows of hate

Rise from your memory

Blacken your gaze

Hesitance

Isn't your act to take

I've dug my grave

Build it higher

I can see the end (hands bound)

Atop the burning ground (urn for your bile)

Flames lick my feet

And I scream and you smile

Light my pyre

Set my blood on fire

Strangling me with jealousy

Of every time that

My desire grew limp

And stray I would

With my wandering eyes

You longed to blind them

Blind my sight once and for all

My skin melts away (I'm yours)

Muscle torn and frayed (embraced and scorned)

At last you've

Got what you wanted and

My blood boils for you

For you and you alone

Light my pyre

For passion's lust cannot be mine

The one you'd see

To set my heart afire

And cast my ashes to the sky

Build a mound for me

And bring me to my knees

Before your stubborn love bleeds out

Light my fucking pyre now

The price of love

Too steep for me

And yours fulfilled

Would swallow me whole

End this now

Let me go

Disavow

Break my body

Over branch and stone

Carrion birds

Sick with the rain

That dampens my carcass

Clean my remains

Burned out corpse

I have become

Have faith

My legacy's erased

Charred and broken

Hold you high your head (I'm gone)

And step oe'r the dead (no more your scourge)

But tell me

What of your spirit is left unscathed?

I beg thee

Light my pyre

For passion's lust cannot be mine

The one you'd see

To set my heart afire

And cast my ashes to the sky

Build a mound for me

And bring me to my knees

Before your stubborn love

Bleeds out

Light my fucking pyre now

Rend me limb from limb

And all my flesh from bone

I reap as I have sown
