Shut up
Listen to me
You absolute catastrophe
Right now
I need you
To leave
Leave this house
And leave this heart
Leave the things that fell apart
Don't stop
Don't look back
Just go
Go where all the ashes live
So there's nothing there to burn
You've never learned
To keep your matches
Safe
Save the bits
Chemical crumbles
That you break 'tween your fingers
You'll need them
For warmth
Where you must stay
Razor wire around the house
The hearth too far for feeling
It's cold now
But you know you
Will burn
Shut up
Listen to me
You absolute catastrophe
Right now
I need you
To leave
