The Blood & The Bones

I am the door never fully opened
The window halfway shut
The brand new suit that they bought to wear
But she never showed up
I am the book that they start and never finish
The keeper never kept
The tears brimming in their eyes
That they never wept
I am the plant they neglect to water
The last drag of a cigarette
The pillow on the empty side
Of the half slept in bed
I am the letter that they never sent
The words they didn’t say
I am the girl that they might have wanted
But not enough to stay

the blood
& the bones
