Burn Me

Light the candle,
Burn the wax,
Watch it burn,
Blow out the match.

Find some metal,
Heat it up,
Meet the skin,
Then shut up.

One part pleasure,
Two parts pain,
But the scars,
They keep me sane.

Throbbing crescents,
Raise the skin,
Just to mask,
The hurt within.

Wash the clip,
Hide the books,
Candle out,
Skin still cooks.

Cover up,
Cannot cry,
I am fine,
On the outside.
