You have overstayed your welcome, Oh entity of past lives not lived. Your stench of decay still lingers And seeps from my fingers.
Abandon me old skin, You have become nothing but the skeleton of past sins Haunting me when I am most vulnerable. I’ve befriended an enemy and In turn, I have become intolerable.
