Earthly Bond
Deanna Giokas
This body feels more like a grave
I’ll show you how bitter the dirt can taste
I’ll show you how bitter the dirt can taste
A split second, a weakness
Feeds on my inability to cope
Is what lies above my skin
Just as bad as what’s below
The feeling of another’s touch
Is enough to make me grimace
But it doesn’t compare to the eyes
Sizing up my body
I’ll escape this earthly bond
My mind is telling me to keep watch
A prisoner to “what if”
I pray to god that death is swift
I’ll show you how bitter the dirt can taste
I’ll show you how bitter the dirt can taste
An endless rat-race
Death equates us all
An endless rat-race
Death equates us all
