I had a man
Sweet man he was
my breath to pause
He held me tight
said we were right
But then he took off in the night
Black as a hole
He drunk me dry
I had a man
I loved him so
Gave him a gun
My heart to blow
I had a man
I loved him so
All that I am
He’ll never know
What kinda man?
What kinda guy?
forgets to write
to tell you why.
There’s only one
The kind that hides
The one whose fear
Stabs out the light
He let me fall
He let me crawl
He didn’t scrape pain off the floor
All of that love
It made him run
And now it’s dark
There is no one
I had a man
I loved him so
Gave him a gun
My heart to blow
I had a man
I loved him so
All that I am
He’ll never know
Time ticks away this heavy day
I think of all these things and pray
to bring him here
I can’t see him clear
Bright eyes are stars
He fades to grey
I had a man
I loved him so
Will he come home?
Before I’m gone?
I had a man
I love him still
There’s no one here
This space, to fill
