I burned my dresses before I left She said, amongst other things, that she burned her dresses Meaning she torched her apartment Meaning, she got the money she needed to sleep on the sidewalk A Man made, Death walk Burning dresses Screeching buses Topped off urns Bury the ashes Sleeping ******* waking To a Bitter, bitter, Bite. I burned my dresses because they were a part of the past I played Schubert after a thousand wrongs I helped Delilah keep her promise I surprised a sphinx with oil in a can I need no proof. It all happened within time. It was without guilt That my dresses burned before I left… I kept a fire going And all were Upset.
