When the mountains crumble, the ocean dries, the sun, moon, and stars fall and the sky goes black, you will be all I see. I love you like a rose with thorns, drawing blood every time we kiss. I love you with all my heart, never able to retract the time I had forsaken you. You are my first love, my only love, my family, my home. The trembling in my hands, the warmth in my veins, the goosebumps on the back of my neck. You are my reason for trying, for surviving, for not giving up. The sweat on my brow, the calluses on my hands. The noose that sits loose around my neck.

You were my salvation until I made you my downfall. You were my home until my flaming recklessness burned it to the ground. From the ashes we scattered, tried to rebuild ourselves from dust. The dust was blown away, the fading embers of our hearts revealed. Ember only lasts so long away from the flame.

From the wreckage we grew weary, you doubting me and me doubting myself.

Finally, I told the truth, and again you left

My burning core a testament to my unholy deeds

Burn me at the stake

At the altar of my lies
