To the Bone

Can't say goodbye, we never really met.

You just burnt my bed and tore out the stars

and kissed my forehead.

Now I am an ache, that fell into a hole

and you were the sky, you opened wide

soaked to the bone, I'm so cold.

I loved being nearer you

you said you loved being near me too

so why are you determined to run?

Is it still night inside your heart

too soon for the sun?

Or do you feel like a rabbit loving a gun

never know when the shot will come

and leave you cold.

Your smile pierced my skin and traveled out again.

A rogue bullet passing through every vital organ.

I wish you'd let me in, I'm bleeding here outside your door.

Did the snows fall heavy in your house

from bedroom to kitchen

and you can't find me anymore.

You're too cold.

Can't say goodbye, we never really met.
