watch me burn

61 12 10
                                    

"ignite the flames
and illuminate this
cold, dark room.

set me alight and
burn me to death.
as i'm no longer a sinner,
my Lord.

i'm repentant now.
can't you see me?
i'm begging you and
asking for forgiveness.

rid me of these sins, Father.
for i am a changing being.
i can do it,
if you trust me.

just take my bloody hand
and we'll embark
elsewhere.
no need for heaven or hell,
we'll make our own
paradise.

almost
turned to ashes, God.
those flames died out
quite quick,
don't you think?

i'm now resting
on this crime scene
and all my sins
have turned to swans.

because i know that
you'll do the rest,
now that i'm gone."
