Bloodchild - Old Fire

Dear William

I’m sorry

First words are the thought to say

At least he’s no longer in pain

I’m sorry

I missed you yesterday

I would’ve loved to see you again

William

You’ve been bleeding for such a long time

Such a young man, innocent, a child, magnificent

You always had that

But your body became a cage

I wanted to believe it when you say

You’d make San Francisco one day

Dear William

I’m sorry

I hadn’t seen you in such a long time

This bloodchild I used to know

That loved me so long ago

William

So patience threw away

I wanted to believe it when you’d say

You’d make San Francisco one day
