Come Back

Come back. If you were here My heart would inflate If you were here My bones would fit If you were here My skin would plump and be moist from my tears If you were here The whites of my eyes would be white If you were here The stones in my throat would be coughed out and I would not choke If you were here I could hear my own voice If you were here I could see my own skin If you were here I could breathe If you were here I could weep Next to you I could keep The whole of me With the whole of you. Only your ashes To keep my heart afloat Only your ashes That have built my bones Only your ashes To put colour to my skin Only your ashes To keep my eyes blue Only your ashes To release my curdling cry Only your ashes To help me sing Only your ashes To put colour to my skin Only your ashes Only your ashes And I cannot begin I cannot begin
