Skin


This heartfelt feeling
Ruminates my veins
 
Still finding traces
Combined yet the same
 
With black stained patterns
Given out to you
Clotted hues
Colorless
 
Everything in my name
Fails to leave a mark on this skin
Take with you my rose
 
Flesh pricks petals blood rims
 
Sometimes in a world that hates you
You've got to shake the hand that beats you
 
It's just like heaven since it's 
Not that hard to understand it
 
Like the spirits tethered to dirt
In a season glossed in paint
 
I find the thought of always living
Just another cry for help
 
Sometimes we may see
What will predecease this time
My skin will crumble down
With the voice of reason 
Sublimely intoxicated in mind
 
There must be tears
For blossoms to infest the life
Restrained in leatherette
Caught between the eyes
