bare skin


carving your name on my skin my skin it burns my stomach retches from inside my lungs filled with remorse i dont want this skin anymore it burns it itches i’ll shred it to pieces are you here yet? the ashes burn my hands are getting cold my insides are rotting but you’re still not here will you ever be here?
