Mourning Skies

Under My Skin

I scratched all day

I scratched at my skin

Searching for creatures

That lurked within

I went down deeper

In hope that I'd find

The monsters that were slowly

Taking over my mind

No matter how much blood

Poured from my vein

Even when I broke it

I still felt the pain

So I cut my skin to ribbons

They fell in piles around me

I felt myself sinking

I forgot who I was to be

With my flesh all gone

I began to understand

The sickness inside me

Was much out of hand

For under my skin

I found the monster inside

Embedded in my heart

And forever by my side
