Better homes and gardens

from Callous Year by Steev baker

lyrics

1
The sky was like a bruise when you left.
My happiness scattered down
Like those letters that I found
With no signature
Written in a hand I did not know

Please come home,
My arms long to hold you.
I’m strong enough for both.
I promise you this:
I will not let go

2
The snow was piled across the street.
My dinner untouched again.
The opposite of praying hands:
The space between
Where we cannot be.

Please come home,
My arms long to hold you.
I’m strong enough for both.
I promise you this:
I will not let go

---O the blood was for our sins,
The alcohol covered the rest.
I stood there in the door
Straining my eyes to see your silhouette
While the snow came down
Like the end of the world
On the headless stalks of last summers’ flowerbeds.
I’ll tear down these walls
And build something better:
A cage that will keep us
Safe with each other---

Please come home,
My arms long to hold you.
I’m strong enough for both.
I promise you this:
I will not let go
