Please, Let Me BurnA Poem by VoiceBased off "Love The Way You Lie"Please, let me Burn Look closely and you can see the flames leaping in the whites of his eyes Breathe deep and take in the inferno Listen to the night’s silence broken by the screams of patrons It’s all over now… Reflecting on the perfect marriage? The perfect wife and husband? Everything wanted was to be had But love leads to lies Lies to flames Hands to hit, punch Feet to kick, stomp Smiles to hide pain Makeup to hide bruises A brutal package to be unwrapped They couldn’t hide it forever Just gonna stand there and watch her burn That’s all right because she likes the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear her cry That’s all right because she loves the way he lies Loves the way he lies… Never meant to hurt her, that’s a bunch of s**t Never gonna be a next time Next time always comes sooner than later What did she say wrong now? What did she do that he disapproved of? It’s ok though she knows it’s simply he cares to much He will make up for it, he always does He is hell The devil whispers from within “Hit her, you have to” “Choke her, she deserves it” “Kill her, you want to” Just gonna stand there and watch her burn That’s all right because she likes the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear her cry That’s all right because she loves the way he lies Loves the way he lies… The air reeks from the gasoline drenched floors From the booze escaping his breathe Her lingering perfume on his wife beater A deadly combination Light a match Their house a roman candle Curtains catch, Walls, Rooms Adam deserts his Eve Tied to a stone bed Left to be devoured by what he calls love Her ashes to be picked up by another… Just gonna stand there and watch her burn That’s all right because she liked the way it hurt Just gonna stand there and hear her cry That’s all right because she loved the way he lied Loved the way he lied…
