I saw blood beneath the pillows.
I saw blood beneath the sheets.
I saw blood upon the handle of the door.
I saw blood amongst the dollies.
I saw blood upon the skirt.
I saw blood stick on the token on the floor.
No way back out.
No saving grace.
No way back out for you from here.
From this sullen lonely place.
But here in the raven's heart.
Your heart is beating on.
I ween that you are better where you are.
You're here in the raven's heart.
No matter where you've gone.
I'm sure that you are there among the stars.
I saw hope in all your poems.
I saw hope in all your tears.
I saw hope beside your overwhelming hurt.
I saw hope in all your colors.
I saw hope in all your black.
I saw gold that needed brushing off the dirt.
No way back out.
No saving grace.
No way back out for you from here.
From this sullen lonely place.
But here in the raven's heart.
Your heart is beating on .
I ween that you are better where you are .
You're here in the raven's heart.
No matter where you've gone.
I'm sure that you are there among the stars.
Bon voyage.
