  ===============================================================

  blood ridden hands are the first things

  to come through the bed

  when all the pain in your life

  comes to a head

  poor lost soul

  with no place to go

  wait until winter

  and you'll know

  three years fold through your lies untold

  innocence undoes her blindfold

  

  who else's hands have touched

  who i best understand

  held close the neck and waist

  of my adult orphan

  this summer ends

  the evenings we spent

  life under china dinner din

  wishes best to mystery address

  i found deep in your occult key chest

  

  on my suicide cloud

  left me in the pit of my morning pout

  an emptiness throughout

  this scarred and sullied soul you threw out

  what possessed you not to include me

  how have you failed to invite me

  how could you laugh with her in that theatre

  when you're off and i'm alone
