To The Bone

Deb Talan


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 and 
so cold 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 
knowing the shot will 
come and leave you 
cold leave you cold your smile 
pierced my skin and traveled 
out again a rogue bullet passing 
through every vital organ wish 
you'd let me in i'm bleeding here 
outside your door 
did the snows fall heavy 
in your house in bedroom 
to kitchen and you 
can't find me anymore 
you're too cold 
you're too cold 
can't say goodbye 
we never really met
