I have set my own life on fire

And it is raging

But I do not move from where I stand

Watch it burn with a lack of concern

Smeared across my face like a sun tan

I am apathetic to a lot lately,

Not just you

I just do not particularly care

And if that is not fair

Well, I know it is not, but

I was always the one to care

Always the one left standing there

When it was burning to the ground

Looking around for the arsonist

Who just so happens to double

As an illusionist

Scattered ashes

From something that never matches expectations

So I have none, and

You have no chance at disappointing me

Or putting out the fire

Since it is not a flame of desire

It does not burn for you

It does not fuel off any particular concern for you

But if you are able to handle that

Then, by all means

Light a match
