Laura Dee Poet Lyric

Bones

By Laura Dee Battle
January 26, 2015

I threw a stone above your head
I scared you off
It wasn't said 

The ruins I left long ago 
So distant now
How could I know?

The trace of space I kept you in
To suffocate
To cut your skin

The memories I'm clinging to
The haunting ghost
Of me and you

So people, people, come around 
I'll put your bones into the ground
Give me a chance to stain your heart
I'll show you where the echoes start

The lies I spin are now leaking out
Shed light on me 
Don't make me shout 

Burn the shadows in my heart 
Light the match 
Let's fall apart 

Let's hold the hand I'll never show
If you can fight
Maybe you'll know

So people, people come around
Put our bones into the ground 
You must be strong to stain my heart
The light of day is where we'll start
