The Blood & The Bones

I am the door never fully opened
The window halfway shut
The suit that they bought to wear
But she never showed up
I am the book that they never finish
The keeper never kept
The tears brimming in their eyes
That they never wept
I am the plant they didn’t water
The pillows on other side of the bed

The card that they never mailed
The dream they wake and forget
I am the number that they didn’t call
The words they didn’t say
I am the girl that they used to want
But not enough to stay
