Skinned

He skimmed and slipped over

Your skin, which he wished

Was his to touch; he stitched

His hand to yours and gripped

 

So hard you felt your bones,

Crush, curdle, you plead, don't let go

But he did, he tore away

Two weaved hands, they bled that day

 

Raw, afraid, with dread you felt

Your way through the darkness in which you dwelt

The hand it scarred, it left its marks

On the walls you scraped, bled, dried and marred
