I got burned
Did I play with fire?
Oh but hot damn are you fire
As in you burn everything around you
Right down to the ground
I guess I overlooked the road signs
Since literally everyone else saw it coming
Whilest I was blissfully unaware
I'm not sure why you keep coming back
Didn't burn me enough last tie?
Are you not satisfied until I'm broken ash
Because I will not break beneath you
Your flames ain't that bright love
You can only burn lesser things
And darling I'm above you
But you need Oxygen to transform to ash
And well I haven't breathed in years
So I'm sorry
But it can't happen
Didn't anyone ever warn you fire only burns the living?
Not the skeletons hiding in my internal closet
Of which I am becoming
Didn't anyone ever warn you fire burns outside in?
And it will consume you
For that I am sorry
But I refuse to burn
Even if it would save you
