Firestarter

Patiently
So patiently
I've been here

Nervous
Anxiety
Hair stood on end

Holding
Hoping
Waiting

Patient
Be patient
It's coming

Uncoil
This serpent
This monster
Unnerving

Regale
With salacious
Lies and slanders
Undeserving

Infiltrate
My sanctum
All that I held
So holy

Reclaiming
My own skin
With daggers
Knives turned in

Patient
So patiently
I've been here

Hateful
Disingenuous
Facade to pretend

Holding
Still holding
But fading

Patient
Be patient
It's coming

Defile
This body
This torment
Deserved
Understood

Cut open
This old husk
This pandemonium
Affliction

Set fire
Leave the bones
Reminders
To those

In ember
Remember
The choices
That brought you
Here

Patient
So patient
So patient
