Where are you


Where did you go after you were swallowed by the soil? Because even though you left a bump on the ground As though it were ready to give birth to you all over again But does that mean you were born into death Where did you go after you were swallowed by the soil? Because I too want swim in the dust You see i don't remember you yet am reminded of you You left a wound in my heart that can not heal On my soul a scar whose depth I cannot see Where did you go after you were swallowed by the soil Because even when I am alone I see your shadow next to mine When I am scared I hear your whispers in my ear And whenever I show up people say they see you inside of me Tell me where you are so that I find you Because every princess needs her king Teach me how to bite the dust so that we can reunite again You see I always thought you would bloom from the ground like a flower Where did you go Because I miss the one I never knew And with you I would never feel so blue For you I want to swim in the dust too
