The Blood & The Bones

these words

they are all I have

and all I could take from you

heavy and haunting

the things you said

laid out like mile markers

along the roads

that keep us apart

and you could use them

like arms to hold me

or like throwing knives

to pierce the hope in me

the words I wanted

the I’m coming home to you now

those are the ones

that never came

they never would

they never will

they were everything

because we had nothing else

no other way to show

to feel, to know

to hold on, to let go

but with these words

LL~
