Burning Envelope

from Tall Tree by David F. Bello

/

lyrics

w/ hair that reflects the white moonlight
cant you see its you im living for
w/ eyes like miniature stars
and a mind full of cheap cliched metaphors

who are you pining after now
a singer, actor, killer, or celebrity
or a guy w/ a car and a lot of friends
who have fake i.d.'s and love to party

make yrself some food and leave the light on for me
i wont get out of bed until late
leave me a note abt how you slept last night
and abt the dreams you had abt fate

the grim reaper was less than a foot behind you
but you woke up just in time to see me
coming to bed w/ spilled alcohol
and ink all over my jeans

my hands are coverd in unwritten words
discarded on the impotent path
to find a way to describe you
w/o engaging yr wrath

all i could get was the sound of a bird
and an empty jar w/ no smell
a stinking shard of folded paper
a letter that said what the hell
