Dust to Dust

0Baby put the lights out, I want to sit in the dark. Keep on breathing in, out. Do you have to ask why I’m clinging to the floor. It’s the only place it doesn’t hurt me anymore. Bruises, like a rose tattoo, were the only gift from you. Then you ask why I’m subdued. Can my tears be misconstrued…..Why I’m clinging to the floor, it’s the only place it doesn’t hurt me anymore. …...I’m clinging to the floor, it’s the only place it doesn’t hurt me, it doesn’t hurt me, it doesn’t hurt me. Don’t go saying sorry, such a hollow sound. You don’t have to worry, till I hit the ground. (Shi 2015)
