Burn Barrel
A lifetime of memories
My trash all gathered
Searching for remedies
To heal dreams shattered
Gasoline is doused
To erase my past
A future without
Is a future that lasts
Light the matches
And smell the sulfer
Reality detaches
The pain I suffered
A quick explosion
Engulfed in flames
My mental erosion
Left me ashamed
Burn her pictures
And her apparel
Praying for scripture
From this burn barrel
Burn my memories
Burn them down
Burn her body
Til her memory drowns
In a sea of ash
Returned to earth
Her chains unlatched
For my rebirth
My trash all gathered
Searching for remedies
To heal dreams shattered
Gasoline is doused
To erase my past
A future without
Is a future that lasts
Light the matches
And smell the sulfer
Reality detaches
The pain I suffered
A quick explosion
Engulfed in flames
My mental erosion
Left me ashamed
Burn her pictures
And her apparel
Praying for scripture
From this burn barrel
Burn my memories
Burn them down
Burn her body
Til her memory drowns
In a sea of ash
Returned to earth
Her chains unlatched
For my rebirth
