I set you on fire 

You left me alone here in the freezing
You took your love away without thinking
My thin shadow gives no shade in the light of your reason
Your parting remarks left a scar that runs deep
My imagination runs wild with unsaid rebuttal
I set you on fire
You burn while I laugh
Once we danced together letting sparks fly
And then you decided to lie to me
The steps changed as the dance became hidden
I questioned and you laughed and you lied
I set you on fire
I cry as my flames surround you
Memories of trust fell apart in truth revealed
Whispers in the background fell hard on my ears
Your sincerity filtered through the wire
Your empty love echoes in his smug mirth
I set you on fire
His laughter melts in the heat
My faults are my own and accepted
You could have expressed opinion in time
You chose not to
You made me believe that I could be loved
Oh, I set you on fire
I dance in the ashes
