Set Me On FireA Poem by Victoria Harlequin Based off of the song, 'I Love The Way You Lie' [chorus added in] Set Me On Fire Just gonna stand there and watch me burn… Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry… Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie… In the beginning, I wouldn’t have seen it I wouldn’t have predicted it That good feeling you gave me changed With it comes a tinge of pain, A little fire in our love The bruises on my skin, growing With every push and shove… You show me that you care What you do to me - it hurts so good Pull on my hair again Show me that I mean the world to you Claw at my skirt and scream at me Tell me how you’d die without me Throw me against the wall, spit in my face Beg for me to be your one and only Lock me in the bathroom when you leave Walk away with a passionate hate Break me, tear me, & wear me down Don’t stop until you see me dying Just gonna stand there and watch me burn… Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry… Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie… I love the way you lie… She doesn’t kiss me the way she used to I don’t see those fireworks in her eyes Ones that lit up when I said those words Words that used to mean a promise Whenever I say them now, she laughs Lashing out and yelling in anger Explaining how much she hates me How she could never love a man like me I wanna leave her so bad, but I can’t Every time she slaps and scratches My skin slowly starts fading It’s my fault, I made her this way I shoulda’ done more, cared more We’re losing our grip each day She’s abusing us both in every way Her heart is beating because of my pain Mine is breaking because she’s so vain I said I’d never leave her and I never will I’ll stay until she stops hating me Just gonna stand there and watch me burn… Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry… Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie… I love the way you lie… My breath quickens when she snaps at me Adrenaline kicks in when she resists me I don’t mean to slap or punch her But she sets bombs off inside me I made a vow to never hit her, But the b***h knows how to spark me It gets me mad when I see her cry Knowing that I’m the reason rips me apart Yet, I continue to make her suffer Throwing acid coated words in the air And watching the debris fall down her face There’s nothing I can do besides cause wars So even if I see her hurting, I persist Too lost in the grief to notice she’s drowning Groaning out for an SOS; weak and frail I can’t let her out of my sight So I lock the house and throw the key out She’s never gonna’ escape my labyrinth While I sit against the door crying I feel her sobs through the walls And as I light the last match I close my eyes and hear her wail out - Just gonna stand there and watch me burn… Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry… Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie… I love the way you lie… © 2010 Victoria HarlequinAuthor's Note
