I lay, all bruised and cracked wide open, 
On the bathroom floor,
Memorise all the tiles
Like reading a book
I never want to end

Tiles you laid down, one by one,
Alongside your father


They still hold your fingers,
The stencil of your palms 


If I trace them long enough, hard enough,
It almost feels like 
I'm holding your hand


But it's 2:30 am,
And I'm drunk on the bathroom floor


And the tiles 
Just feel like tiles


And you haven't called yet


And I have a dreadful feeling 
In the pit of my stomach 



That you never will
