I wrote it in the ashes
I read it on his tombstone...

Dear Mommy,
I’m sorry to say this...

Squeeze the life from me
My lovely boa constrictor...

Stayed in the shadows so long,
The moon was burned into his eyes...

Behind blue eyes
A sad girl cries...

I can't remember what happened
Or how I came to stand here...

I see the night buried deep in his eyes
While the stars are all but disappearing...

At the age of nine
The little girl, mine...

I can't seem to erase these memories
They're burned right to my head...

I once drew a perfect picture
That matched my lovely heart...

I hurt so much
But as long as you’re near...

I waste away in my misery
Of all the loneliness around...
