Thy Torn Skin

December 3, 2018

Why do I care

Why do I shed tears

Weeping for thy torn skin

Wish I could shed them with one rinse

To take your pain away

To show how much you mean to me

The wounds still bleed

Maybe they’ll see your fake smile

Hoping that they’ll help

But that's just a wish upon a star

We all know it won’t go very far

But I’ll stay by your side

Maybe one day your tears will subside

Till that day I’ll never leave you alone

Till you see who you truly are
