Sacrificial Lamb

By BeautifullyRuined

I asked you to make one sacrifice
you decided to choose me
too bad i gave you my virginity
you could have gotten more points
with the gods

but no i let you fuck me
OVER
convinced myself i was the only one
and jumped into the volcano
with a smile

the last thing you saw
was my white dress billowing around me
and my last thought
before i burned myself alive
was that i shouldnt have given you
everything

i heard your screams above mine
i do believe you said come back
it`s a little late for that
but i`m happy to know you regretted it

i feel the flames
they`re reaching for me
like a lover
but they don`t pretend to care
so it`s better than the alternative
i know they`ll take anyone
and at least with them
i`ll only be burned once
