Locked and Left

from Hellrosa by Rosa Francesca

/

lyrics

She wrote you all these letters
in the midst of all this weather,
Stormy, from the dark fall,
And your love was freshly broken,
But a door locked, left, unopened,
is not much more than a wall.
The worst overreaction.
Oh darling, what was your plan of action,
Other than a catalyst of golden sun reduced to mist?
You were missed.
Darling, you were missed.

If there is a slate that needs to be cleared
of equations and poems accounting your fears
as the lonely one,
as the lonely one,
Well, she would bring water and she would bring shade
to the one who in words and in sentences paid,
as the only one,
the only one.
She needs your excuses. You leave her mistakes.
Your words are her bruises, and left there to take,
and alone to run,
all alone to run.

She could hold your hand, if you want her to.
She could say the things she'd advise to you,
but what good could that do?
She'd be a substitute valentine;
A reminder of older, less eloquent times,
But the threads have already, and will soon unravel
down the line.
Down the line.

If there is a sky that needs to be cleared
of the clouds and the lightning igniting your fears
as the lonely one,
as the lonely one,
Well, she would part weather and she would bring shade
to the one whose impatience and privacy made her
the only one,
only one.
You need her excuses. You leave her mistakes.
Your bruises, her bruises, and left there to take,
and alone to run.
Left alone and gone.

***

"Darling, where's the fire?
Did you not see your heart for hire?
Well, my heart has never been broken,
Bur a door that is locked and left unopened
can still be broken.
Should we break it open?

Darling, help me out.
Can you not see what this is about?
Well, it's one strike to her (in terms of you),
And I can run faster than you can strike any blow
that you have in you.
Do you have it in you?

***

"I could hold your hand,
If that's something you would like me to do.
I could understand,
If that's something that you think she would do.

"Oh, is there a sky that can be cleared
of the clouds and the thunder applauding your fears
as the lonely one,
as the lonely one?
Well, if I could part weather and bring you some shade,
Well, I would in a minute; unevenly made
as the only one,
the only one.
Your news is my news. Your mistakes, my mistakes,
And my heart, out of reach, further south, left to take,
and alone to run.
All alone, and gone.
The only one."

She wrote you all this, opened up her mind,
but a door still closed
is not much more then,
At all.
