Have you come to run away? In the cold, I lie in wait And watch my breath float from my face As I chill, it disappears And your picture’s all I have here I pace again and hum some tune Holding your photo to my chest Hoping you’ll come to kiss me soon For yours is the image that’s long wrecked my rest Have you run to come to me? To be what I know you could be? Mirror, Mirror, to my own soul As I wait, I know true fear And your picture’s all I have here I pace again and the rate grows fast Hoping this isn’t some awful test Hoping you’ll come to me at last For yours is the image that’s long wrecked my rest Do you strive for the same goal? Is your love part or is whole? I’ll accept what you say is truth But, as I wait, I feel God leer Your picture’s still all I have here Perhaps you love, but could not escape Or you didn’t fly, but fell out of your nest Maybe you were pinned down by just one more rape For that is the life that’s long wrecked your rest You have not come to run away In the cold, I will not wait And watch my breath float from my face Alone and shuddering at your tears While your picture’s all I have here I’ll stalk unto my ladylove Holding your photo to my chest After so much pain, enough’s enough And tonight is the night I’ll at last have my rest
