Cold Window

I keep your name In the glass Cold on my tongue Like frost Your coat still hangs On the chair Empty sleeve Full of you I trace the seam With my thumb Count the hours One by one And the room leans in Like it knows What I won't say Hold my breath Let it pass Low pulse Under my skin I hear the hall Go thin Cold window Call me back Cold window Don't look away Say my name Then fade to black Say my name And stay Cold window Call me back Cold window Call me back Your key in the bowl Makes a sound Like a coin In deep water I light the lamp It turns gold Then slips back To winter Your message stays Half-read On my screen Like a bruise I touch the glass Once more And the night Touches me too Hold my breath Let it pass Low pulse Under my skin I hear the hall Go thin Cold window Call me back Cold window Don't look away Say my name Then fade to black Say my name And stay Cold window Call me back Cold window Call me back If I stand still You might return If I close my eyes Long dark line Between us Still alive Cold window Call me back Cold window Don't look away Say my name Then fade to black Say my name And stay Cold window Call me back Cold window Call me back
