Names are of no consequence when you're out burning the bridges..
Or pursuing empty futures wrought from all of yesterdays decisons..
Based on little known facts, your intuition, and the sounds of well-spoken opinions...
Which led to my last request, my level best, as you threw me off the ridges..
To witness the wars fought down in the city, my house burnt to a cinder..
And the only comfort left were the mementos I left wrapped around my finger..
And the ashes left from photographs of a time that we knew could never linger..
And the emotions stuffed in envelopes, sincerely marked "please return to sender."
