absynthium (song)

by india southgate.

 

let my body
decompose on the mattress
i spend my last hours
watching the walls breathe for me 
until my eyes become plaster 
and my heart beats 
faster than it should
is this what i want?
is this what i live for?
to be a tonic
to finally heal
to shed my secrets
like a second skin
is this what i want?
is this what i live for?
