Shifting through the memories
trying to erase you from my life
but every single night
you feed the fire I ignite
Burn, let the fires consume
all you've ever touched
all you've ever loved
Burn, let the fires consume
all you've ever touched
all you'll be ever loved
Burn, me.
Infection, disease
I'm sick and I can't see
can you fix this mess please
no, I'm cursed to be me
But I've got this gasoline
and I've got this match
they say I get to attached
bring birth to this flame
I'll take the blame
Burn, let the fires consume
all you've ever touched
all you've ever loved
Burn, let the fires consume
all you've ever touched
all you'll be ever loved
Burn, me.
This skin is burning
and can't last much longer
I've let this consume me, anger
and I don't want to live
thinking what could be, what should be
rip this flesh, take this soul
it's ok, I'll never feel whole
Burn, let the fires consume
all you've ever touched
all you've ever loved
Burn, let the fires consume
all you've ever touched
all you'll be ever loved
Burn, me.

Wow I love this! Great job emoting here, these feelings are something almost anyone can relate to. Awesome writing

I saw a small typo in one of your lines, dear:
"they say I get to attached"
I believe you meant "too" instead of "to."
Other than that, I can't really complain about this piece too much. It vaguely reminds me of a song by Seether, but that might just be due to the references to fire, gasoline, and the like.
Each line is short and to the point; building upon itself ten fold as you read through the entire poem. It really adds to the sense of urgency one feels when trying to remedy the afflictions of a connection they can't seem to break with a loved one. Very, very aweseome that it played out as such.
All in all, I could feel the fire in this piece. You are a gifted writer, indeed. Never part from your gifts.

i love it

awesome poem. i really liked the part "i'm cursed to be me." i understand how that feels. i feel like it's something you feel all the time, kinda like a passion. i wish i could rhyme like that. it really flowed nicely. i like how you related burning to infection, it kinda gave it a another point of view.

Good lyrics!
WOW, I've felt this way before, and it's rare for anyone to capture the emotionality so well. Thumbs up!
