Between the Rake and Coals
Alone when the leaves are turning
Home when the winter’s coming on so strong
Your letters around the room in piles
My sins that need reconciling still building up
Its a punished soul between the rake and coals sweet one
So I grind my teeth and bleed my eyes and wait
I can tell that you hate seeing me sick-faced
With my bones jutting out of my skin
But I’d give anything to wrap my arms around something beautiful
Like you
For one moment
