Playing With Fire - Emery

Pardon me for saying so but you look more pitiful

than I had ever imagined

Despite perfect fashion

And your photographs depict you so differently

I always thought you would be Some sort of match for me So lets decide who can survive

Stomping feet and racing beats of hearts that don’t ever slow

Then I’ll write letters on white paper expressing my deep disappointment

Dripping where I stand

From my watery hands

hoping to get passed the open bedroom door

Where her clothes on the floor

Reminds me of our conversations

The feeling of slight hesitation to turn off the lights

Fourteen days now since we started to complicate the situation

I’m not hiding, I’m just buying

Some time for us to find the back door

We will come out when it’s safe for us when it’s safe for us, when it’s safe for us There’s nothing left to say

To excuse the way that I’ve behaved

I still feel him gripping like a stain

to this fabric torn in every seam

And thrown away…

I will not regret!

I will not forget!

I will not regret!

I will not forget!

Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes?

You were there with every promise made to break

When did you become the one without regret?

Kill me burn me down I swear I won’t forget
