I'll Set the Fire

by Katherine - Aquarius

I never thought past the day
that I would leave my home.
I was like a child again,
wanting to scream
if no one could hear.

I am done with you
I won't cry about how hard you
tried to rip me apart
because I said no.
That was so long ago
and I won't put up with it anymore.

I guarantee your free pass to hell,
I'll set the fire
then I'll sit back and watch.

Here the skies are prettier
and the people are kind.
But I'm an only heart.

I was blessed with shyness,
then I grew to fear the male species
that would show an interest in me.
So life at this point
I could say, is a little rough around the edges.
Because I'm like most humans at this age,
and with no one to hold
I feel just a bit  unsteady.
