Lesser Times

I do recall that face

I've done my best to wash you away

But still your fingerprints on my skin

And still your scent all over me

There's no more time to waste

Now all these fine days are smothered and grey

And I don't think it will work

Leave me bleeding on your doorstep now

Shelter the weakened souls from the ugly things in life

Leave me bleeding alone
