your doll

Crow 

Crow calls my name 

Shifting the rain. 

Black eye’d and holy

My one and only 

Crow comes again

And every time I fall

And every time I dream 

And every time I sleep she’s staring at me 

And I can hear her song 

 And I can see her following me  

Forever she has flown 

Forever I will bleed 

And every time I sleep she’s there watching me 

And she don’t want no one 

Other than her loving me. 

I love you, he says

And tucks me in bed

Then leaves for a night

Smothered in sex

I love you, he says

Kissing my cheek

Yet winking behind

At the whore on the street

I love you, he says

As his fist meets my face

kissing the blood

His own knife has drawn

I love you, another says,

And I cower in fear

For cruel time has taught
