I leave it burning and count the dead. 

A jilted lover, a one time friend. 

It reeks of incest. 

It reeks of pain. 

Erase my anguish. 

Forget your name. 

Can't see the future. 

I just break free and run. 

And knowing nothing I know that it's just begun. 

This day feels different. 

Feels like shedding skin. 

My mind is clearer now I know what state I'm in. 

And from a distance it seems so unreal. 

Nothing left. 

Nothing to feel. 

And if it hurt you, it hurt me too. 

I had to kill it to heal the wound.
