Literature Text

What they don't tell you beneath the steeple
Is hell consists of other people
When you speak, it's heavenly revel
But reversed it's the speech of the devil
I can feel the friction in the air
One spark will blow this whole affair
But I'd burn my bridges for one kiss
Death by fire for a moment of bliss

So set me on fire and watch me burn
Ashes to ashes, to dust I'll return
You made me in the potter's kiln
But when you break me, I'm the villain?
You start the reaction but can't control it
At critical mass you run for the exit
Get thee hence and head for the highland
Because my heart is a three mile island

You hold the spark that was the creation
Of this act of immolation
You made me burn with your flaming motion
Like standing on the shore of a fiery ocean
The smoke in my eyes is getting too thick
And my boiling stomach is making me sick
And my roasting heart is getting cooked lean
And then you douse the fire with gasoline
Or: "Why I Hate Dating".

I love the rhyme scheme but I'm not sure I understand the entire meaning. Very talented(:
