Letters
The letters she wears
Around her neck
Spell her name in soft white pearls
No natural barrier could protect
I could have kissed her once
Under the sky
Under the streetlamp
That shows the fear inside us all
That condemns all wasted words
I could have kissed her once
But I felt her turn away
To talk with haste
Of pretty stars and cold
The letters she wears
Around her neck
Hang on a thread just strong enough
To keep her hanging on
