Bloodchild

Dear William
I'm sorry
First words are the thought to say
At least he's no longer in pain

I'm sorry
I missed you yesterday
I would've loved to see you again

William
You've been bleeding for such a long time
Such a young man, innocent, a child, magnificent
You always had that line
But your body became a cage
I wanted to believe it when you say
You'd make San Francisco one day

Dear William
I'm sorry
I hadn't seen you in such a long time
This bloodchild I used to know
That loved me so long ago

William
So patience threw away not kind
I wanted to believe it when you'd say
You'd make San Francisco one day
