I could feel the powder on your skin The absence of your soul And the lack of life in your existence You looked like a doll of wax Posed and examined by strangers who barely cared Placed in your casket by unforgiving hands I shan't forget the juice stain across the front of your hat The spot of blood on the back Or even the clip you attached all those years ago I'll return to you someday in the future And when we touch, I won't allow your skin to seem fake for even a second

Wax
I could feel the powder on your skin The absence of your soul And the lack of life in your existence You looked like a doll of wax Posed and examined by strangers who barely cared Placed in your casket by unforgiving hands I shan't forget the juice stain across the front of your hat The spot of blood on the back Or even the clip you attached all those years ago I'll return to you someday in the future And when we touch, I won't allow your skin to seem fake for even a second
They'll never know that I felt your lifeless skin
