The Bones

Would you have me burn? because you hate the sight of my bones The peaks, valleys, and creases of my form prove to be too much for your eyes Runaway child Run back to the night Hide until you can hear the lark promising you one more chance The moon of Gemini is all at once your fault While the ruling of me graces your lips with new pardons The stronghold where you seek shelter In my breast find the peace of my beat Bow your head, hold your hands and tongue I know already the prayer you hold The ailment of my heart The lament of my soul The musings to my pain Would you have me burn? This hellfire is a relief to cold bones You froze me through These dry bones are rattles Shivering at your distance Dance to my solemn tune, girl My heart is a barren womb Never to birth love again A new moon brings new feverish dreams Close your eyes and think back back to when you felt free Our hand was dealt in the suit of death Our discordant hearts never to be in sync How we were oil and water The virgin’s blood on the sheets could not save us Our bed forever stained with a whores scent The bastardized love of fools Passion does not healthy love make Would you have me burn? The poison of anger Has finally reached my veins I spit on your sorries Damn you to shame and bite my thumb at your name Tell them all how you burned me Tell them about the love I gave you Merry demons dancing through Styx I'd sooner see you buried Than in another's arms and yet you still grace the earth Tapping on my grave Wake my heart to try again Forgiveness is complete I knew before it happened and still you waited weeks Find me in my solitude Show me your repentance Would you really have me burn?
