• We walked to the spot where we said we’d meet it
    Shadows overtaking most light
    The distance between streetlights became further apart
    And the distance in my heart grew shorter
    I knew we were there the moment you said this might hurt
    How much I asked
    The pain only hurts for awhile you said
    How long is awhile I asked?
    Forever you said before slipping into the darkness
    Forever I repeated
    You reached the home before me and pulled out the lighter fluid
    Calling it Santa’s litter helper
    you poured it every where
    Then it was my turn I got the boy from where we put him
    He looked more beautiful
    But only in the light
    I avoided the light
    So as not to see his face
    We tied him to the table
    Then you poured the fluid on him
    I lit the match and dropped it
    But you caught it
    And said step back
    I did
    You let it fall
    His screams are still echoing through my head
    Even now
    At your funeral
    I hear his screams
    And you laughing
    And saying his love was not true anyways
    He burned and burned
    You laughed and laughed
    I cried and cried
