Fire

That day I saw him in the rain
I hoped someday he’d feel the same
They don’t believe in love at first sight
But I believe in desire at first slight

I got to ride in his little white truck
With a heart full of hope and a chest full of luck
The simplest touch it drives me wild
He knows what I am, that I’m still a child

Kiss on the eyelids the touch of a feather
These finger tips touching could never get better
With each little breath HE fell more in love
Felt there was no way we could get enough

But I had said from the start
I worked for this and it was hard
We just can’t believe in love at first sight
And I pulled away more each slight

Those bruises I hid for the longest of  months
Can’t ever pull away when it becomes this much
These slights became rage that broke glass and porcelain
I couldn’t do anything under his force then

Finally I told him no
And with pain in his eyes he showed me how
This love will be cemented
Forever, in stone.

Fire burns black that little white truck
I lay in the bed with him, eternally stuck
Forever’s a while for being dead
All he wanted was thoughts of him in my head

Last of my thoughts, it turned out they’d be
Because me, him and fire, is all I can see
Bound to his body, his truck and his heart
Fire and rope and a love just so large

We’re ground to ashes but our story remains
He loved me so much he killed me to stay.
