light my life on fire

its not like it matters

I live in a perpetual now,

always moving on,

never looking back.

so go ahead...

light it up,

I didn't need it anyway.

in fact,

light me on fire too.

its not like I would ever

get to be the person I was

before you came along

and doused me in kerosene

then handed me the matchbook

and never looked back.

but don't you worry,

I'll settle into the charred remains of my life

so that if you ever miss me,

you'll know where to find me

the thing is...

I don't want to leave.

I don't know how to stay.

the perpetuity of my now

means I'm always moving on,

never looking back.

I guess this means goodbye,

as I leave the ashen remains
and walk off into the oblivion of my future
