your body's a jumble of bones and bridges
untouchable unquenchable
skin like sky
and eyes embers
i lift my hand to caress, conquest
but i'm a good girl
i remember to whom you belong
they, life bending music writing world changing
higher flying than i
still i'm on edge 'til your song ceases
your paintbrush pales
and your dreams run dry
'cause i still see your bones and bridges
taunting my touch
soiled with sadness and stillness and smiling and
hanging my heart
like a candle that comes before it dies
against the air
by your black breath extinguished
and i wasn't through knowing you
