the arsonist's complaint

verona

"I have nowhere to live", she says

as she watches the smoke rise.

 

you keep burning down anything that looks like home,

you keep cutting ties with all the boys you bed and the friends you make.

 

then you say your heart is breaking

because you have to start anew

well burn me away, burn me away too,

I don't want anything to do

with an arsonist like you
