Ain Leuh

Dirt roads, old cars, burnt oil, lovely hearts
All I breathe in, bleeds out, falls apart
Table cleared, dinner served - a modest start
Held back tears, never felt, pulled this hard
Dark skin, light hearts, unadorned, simple lives
I try to measure all my thoughts, all at once
And things seem clear
We've been lost from the start
Held back tears, never felt, pulled this hard
