God Inside Your Skin
I remember those few words you said
‘I won’t wake up until I’m dead’
And your eyes were blue
The deepest blue
I saw God inside your skin
He grabbed my arm
I felt your suffering
Like people do
Like all the people do
Walking into Ainslie Place
Not a smile on any mortal face
But your eyes shone through
Incandescent blue
These walls won’t hold you in here
No, these walls won’t keep you in here
I climbed the stair, rang a bell
The doctor winced
Said ‘ All is not well...’
And his eyes glazed grey
Grey as your ash now mixing in the bay
How serious we all process
In our gilded grief and our artifice
I kiss a hollow kiss
Girl you’re well, well out of this
Please cry
So deep
Then I’ll sing you to sleep
