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 skinIt was your word
against mine
not skin to skin
And it was your bones
breaking mine
while you were overheadIt was the thought
of you wanting me
but hurting me instead
It was when you wanted
to want me
but you hurt me instead
