Aura Four

You came to me only with what you are

No false promises, I made those on my own

You never told me cliches, like the others

I told them to you instead, so I didn’t seem only bone

But under my freckled face that is what I am

Simply a skeleton, lost if not used as a muse for direction

I always envied the compass in your heart

There is not much left now to lead me to redemption

I am a dream of a man in the night

He wakes up unsure what I wanted or thought

But he is sure of what he wanted

And that’s all that matters, good girls are taught

Before skeleton, I was good girl, then good woman

I had dreams too, but no clear path to follow

My dreams were the sky, the trees, the river

But with them I cannot sustain bone in this great land of hollow.
