she is singing static in my head
I always hear her voice inside
quiet horrors whispering
I console her,
words never warm her
that night she hung her body
high up in the trees
their crooked empty arms
swaying in the naked autumn breeze
I tied the noose,
I was a mess, I was shaking
she held it in till there was nothing left,
I heard the branches breaking
so light a fire, burn it bright
spread your arms wide, I'll be yours open your eyes
ashes to ashes to ashes to dust in my hand
she is the moon behind the clouds
she is the wind between the leaves
she's a stranger now--the gentle ghost of silent dreams
I won't forget you
I just have to let you go
I am afraid I'll always betray myself
