Lauren's pissed off she died
"That's just figures" she says.
"I keep trying to make something beautiful,
To feel, breathe, and dance this earth in me
To make love to my Mark
To my family, friends, grandmas and pas,
To make it alright for us all
Make it feel alright

And it just slips right away from me
This life
This precious jewel
My voice, my touch, breath,
Relaxing bathtub ballet body
Just torn apart, broken
Bashed with water
Tearing me apart,
The power of the water takes me over
My voice,
My song forever gone

That's just like my luck
To have my love finally,
My music, my house together,
To have my jewelry business,
My love for nature feeding me warmth
Like my love for Mark

Then its taken away from me,
Without me able to put up a fight
I would give anything, do anything
Starve for months, walk the continent
Fight to the surface of that pounding water
That unbreakable wave
For my life back!

This earth, the water, I have loved you so
You have violated my precious body, my love
I become her
Earth,
Missing, kissing,
Eating, bleating,
Lalu, Lola, Lauren, L-Lo
