Slowly we peel away the layers and the light seeps through the cracks.
|
You whispered softly in my ear "the birth of morning's upon us, dear,"
|
the bandages feel upon the floor.
|
And there was no one in that room.
|
And It's quiet down the hallway where the doctors wash their hands.
|
Behind my eyes I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss.
|
Your anesthetic name is autographed upon my bones.
|
This reception died in vein.
|
In vein.
|
A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface.
|
A jealous daughter starves to death, for the mother,
|
as I awaited your return.
|
I wait for your return.
|
It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive.
|
To throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes.
|
I'd give anything to feel alive.
|
And I will wait for you tonight.
|
The scalpel carves a map for you.
|
A map for you.
