| She has brittle bones like a child And velvet haze all around us Spiraling like the last leaf from a now dormant bough She reminds me of deer frolicking in the snow Or the children on my block that play on their scooters Never seeming to mind the winter air Somehow unable to feel pain I trace the imprints of her footsteps with my index finger There are leaves on the ground Like a thousand tiny angels layed to rest From the heavens of the tree I can feel her swallow vicodins One after the other on a saturday night I can feel opium seeping from under the doorway And into her skin Our skin like liquor or gasoline And it burns for us baby Like the trenches of hades And a burning red sky for all the world to see I know your so much better off without me... I'm sorry things have to be like this now I feel like I've lost you forever I need you I can't stop crying I'm so sorry I love you She said |
