All That I Have

It's that I have left of you

Some blood on the tissue you left in my room

And I don't know why I didn't say goodbye

But I had to leave

Like a woman greaves

Each time she bleeds

I'm mourning each day as it goes by

I entered the room

And called out to soon

And I scared the moment and it died?

I can take the pain but the pleasure was worse

When I asked for an ambulance

You called me a hearse

What's a little death in the scheme of survival

I know that it's true cause I read in the bible

That it's I have left of you

Some blood on the tissue you left in my room

And I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye

But I had to leave

You wanted nothing

But you asked for too much

And you drowned out my voice with your asking

Now the hourglass is broken

And the ribbon is burned

And the moment we feared is passing

I think of you now

All beauty and shame

And I want for your body

And I curse your name

What's a little death in the scheme of survival

I know that it's true cause I read in the bible

That it's I have left of you

Some blood on the tissue you left in my room

And I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye

But I had to leave

The moon in rhythm joins land and the sea

But was it the moon that brought you to me?

In a bed in France, instead of sleep

We signed a contract of blood on the sheet

I had your voice, your bones undressed

I learned to read your alabaster flesh

And I had your kisses, you whispered to me

That cost me so much though you gave them for free

I've seen you lying, uncaressed on the floor

What's the point of weapons if we can't have a little war?

Now that it's all that I have left of you

Some blood on the tissue you left in my room

And I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye

But I had to leave
