    Excerpt from “Letters”

    You say, “I’ll see you in an hour”
    Oh, so soon I fall devoured?
    All is fair,
    and I knew,
    love had lost its power

    “Oh, promise me you will never tell another”
    “I promise this will never happen again”
    “Now take me like your scarlet letter
    and keep me at the seam of your hem”

    It was your bones
    against mine
    not skin to skin
    It was your bones
    against mine
    not skin to skin

    It was your word
    against mine
    not skin to skin
    And it was your bones
    breaking mine
    while you were overhead

    It was the thought
    of you wanting me
    but hurting me instead
    It was when you wanted
    to want me
    but you hurt me instead
