The Necklace |
| Rope scratching skin bruised, alabaster |
| Spider watches from spider crack in plaster |
| Respiration in bursts and sobs and |
| Whoever said this was the coward’s way out? |
| Lashes long and sultry |
| Eyes look down at filthy floor |
| Black dress dying dress she wore |
| Leap of faith off of kitchen chair |
| Every last one of us will see you there |
| A treetop swaying |
| Evergreen playing in electric rumbling atmosphere |
| A broken heart |
| A broken neck |
| Strong hemp tightens the more we persevere |
| Cut her down |
| Wash the body |
| Scour the heart of its stains |
| Dig a grave and forget her |
| And bury her in her chains |
| A broken heart |
| A broken soul |
| A broken promise |
| An empty hole |
| Deep in the confines of the spirit |
| The center of the loop |
| Universal gloom |
| Cruelty in its multitude of guises |
| Every word is a thorn |
| Every thought shows its scorn |
| For the sanctity of life |
| With a cupful of sorrow poured over our eyes |
| Necklace worn by the Queens of Hell |
| And their Kings dressed in tatters |
| Royalty all who wore them in the frailty of life |
| Hard are the ways, some are not as dreadful |
| Long and lonely are the wanderings of others |
