Set Me On Fire, Babe.

Set Me On Fire, Babe.

A Poem by Shayna
"

And what if I never sleep again? And what if I never wake up? I am sometimes questioned on the typography of my poetry. Sorry to disappoint, but I generally just do what feels right without real reason. Don't like it? Well, sorry.

"

You're still here now. You haven't
Left. But what about - ?

Hush, you tell me. "Quiet that
Pretty
   little mouth
and kiss me."

I close my eyes, push
hard against the bottom lid.

I just let it happen.
       I let you                                love me.

I want to just lose myself, like all the other nights but
this time I know. This time, I can't forget that

                            When I open my eyes this time,
                            When I hear the radio flash on and tell me that it's
Time,
     You won't be there and
                                 You never were.




Don't leave me anymore.

Let's ignite in Hades.
