♦♦♦

Flesh and bones

I wake and feel the fell of dark,

My skin is cold,

I barely feel my heart.

Bones are holding my soul

Hostage.

Flesh warms up once you feel

You ´re feeling.

Sweat gets everywhere as

I am reading.

Flesh and bones or bones and flesh,

Once again my soul seeks the end

And my eyes are closed but I know you are

Watching.

Beyond this body you see blood,

Behind your eyes I see you burn.

Flesh and bones keep me away

From falling into your trap again.
