Under My Skin

Under my skin,

Your words are digging in.

Ripping, tearing,

Pulling my flesh away.

Peeling back the skin

And settling in.

To a host of which

They are unwelcome.

Under my skin,

Your words are digging in.

Lying, defying,

Numbing the realities.

Peeling back the skin

And settling in.

Whispering nothings to which

There are no meanings.

Under my skin,

Your words are digging in.

Confusing, undoing,

Ignoring all truths.

Peeling back the skin

And settling in.

Crafting lies which

Are filled with sin.

Under my skin,

Your words are digging in.

Mending, fixing,

Stitching the wounds.

Peeling back the skin

And settling in.

Making a home in which

They shouldn't be existing.

Under my skin,

Your words are digging in.

Peeling back the skin

And settling in.
