A Stranger's Skin Date: Thursday, 11th July 2002 @ 06:15:13 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Clarity I’m trying to remember where I begin; a time before you made me wear a stranger’s skin. This tattered carcass I now bear gives no absolution for you. A time before you made me wear this skin that burns me through, and all the tears you made me cry gives no absolution. For you my fountain of excuses has run dry. The scars your touch has engraved, and all the tears you made me cry have finally surfaced. Enraged, soon I will be able to shed the scars. Your touch has engraved memories that replay in my head; I’m trying to remember where I begin; soon I will be able to shed a stranger’s skin.
