My angel, your bones

My angel,
your bones are heavy.

They're heavy inside my body,
I've been hollowed out and bare,

And I shall feel no guilt,
for the blame is not only mine.

You cannot see your fault,
and I am too soft on you to tell myself,
that you too were wrong,

Angel, my bones are heavy.
As I bear them once I go.

This title has been in my mind for ages,
and only today have I found who to lay it upon.

Angel, our bones are heavy.
I cannot carry them for you.
And I do not want you to carry mine,
That's what you wanted me to do.

I'll place my bones back in my body,
your memory and the creases in my spine.
I'll hold you close to my heart forever,
But I know that we must part.
