Wait, Skeleton.
Chris Bathgate
wait, you skeleton
you comely kid
your heart was dead
all of your time
was compromised
by your sins
and I can see my breath
with my eye to your chest
hold your hurried truth
your single youth
your hungry eyes
fell full of lies
it's no surprise you're alone
and with my ear to your chest
I have heard what you said
smoke your cigarette
your deep regret
you common thief
though your plea was brief
it was so unique
they set you free
