Firey Pleasure

Words helped me heal when I was young.

In my dreams, I hear you scream,
I hear your blood crawl. 
Watch as you back yourself into a wall. 

Embrace the cold concrete

 against your wicked spine. 
All the pain and anguish you caused me; 
now finally the pleasure is mine. 

Sit there alone in the corner 
the same way I did every time I cried. 
Drown yourself in your fallen tears; 
but it won't work trust me I’ve tried 

I stand above your shaking body, 
with a match in my hand. 
A smile curved on my lips, 
my show will be something grand. 

Every part of you is dripping wet; 
and the smell of gasoline so strong. 
You will suffer just as I did, 
pay for all your wrong.

A small little flame

At the end of the stick,  

I hold it out in front of me,

My pleasure is growing sick. 

It flies away from my fingers, 
falls gracefully to your feet. 
With a shimmer of blazing light 
this is the last we will ever meet. 

Your screams sound like lullabies 

they're sweeter than sweet can get. 
I look down and giggle, 

But my show isn’t over yet.  

Your burned and singed, 
eyes all red. 
They fill with all the blood 
You caused me to shed. 

You reach out your hand to me 
I’m afraid it’s too late. 
You turned your back on me. 
and with that, you sealed your fate. 

Motionless becomes your body 
my show comes to an end. 
I watch the fire eat 
what I once called a good friend 

This time I won. 
The table finally turned. 
You liked to play with fire; 
and in the end, you got burned

This one deserves a wow from me. The strength in that table that turned came on stronger than a snake's bite. I can see you put work into this and it shows. You did a great job on this.
