Rip off this skin
That I’m too uncomfortable in
Expose the flesh and bone
Spill the crimson blood that shone
In the glittering moonlight
Leave my soul naked to the sight
In my delusion, I cannot tell from wrong to right
The world is painted in shades of grey
Now stained with a brilliant red, the colour of blood
My blood
I feel the tears
Of my flesh, the pain that sears
Numbness set in, drained
Of emotion and blood
Free of my cocoon, freed from the shackles of pain

In My Skin

Contributed by hazelnut on Sunday, 5th October 2003 @ 10:25:00 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Strip me bare and lay me on the cold concrete floor
Rip off this skin
That I’m too uncomfortable in
Expose the flesh and bone
Spill the crimson blood that shone
In the glittering moonlight
Leave my soul naked to the sight
In my delusion, I cannot tell from wrong to right
The world is painted in shades of grey
Now stained with a brilliant red, the colour of blood
My blood
I feel the tears
Of my flesh, the pain that sears
Numbness set in, drained
Of emotion and blood
Free of my cocoon, freed from the shackles of pain
