• The flames lick at my feet.
    Burning them slowly.
    I invite them in.
    They whisper your word.
    Those three hollow words.
    That you never meant.
    I love you

    The fire is at my knees now.
    They're singeing my legs.
    I crave it.
    And I remember mom and dad.
    I will miss them.
    But they said it too.
    I love you

    No!
    You don't!
    You drove me to this!
    How can one person,
    Destroy my world,
    With three little words?!
    I love you

    The flames kiss my throat.
    It's not fast enough.
    Outside sirens blare.
    I take my last breath.
    And duck into the fire.
    And my last thought is for you.
    I love you
