feed on your envy
the hate fuels
the fires burning
everything in your path
singes
crackles
blackens

she takes it
she turns it
transforms your jealousy into beauty
your loathing into passion
granting salvation
from your scorn

you chose to burn instead of ebb

move with her?
           -no
instead you chase her
growing nearer
but never close enough

the mouse that got away
from the lion
with the brilliant mane

you're the one they all fear
sacrificing themselves to you
and your heat
yet praising her for mercy

without you there would be
no her
no us
no we

she's stolen your light
purified it
and bathed us in it

she is my goddess
I lavish her in tears
not sleep

and I hate your face
it desiccates my offering
to her
I want to give it away... but I won't unless you really want me to. <3

For some reason, I read this in a really low, hoarse, raspy female voice with a strong tint of malevolence. So different from how wondrous your real voice is. :) All in all, a great piece.
