under my skin

a belly full of broken glass
a railroad spike straight through my head
veins that bleed black acid blood
a haunted mind consumed by dread

you're the bloody lash that shreds my skin
the icy kiss that chills my soul
the gaze that haunts me in my dreams
with eyes as black as coal

you're the poison air that fills my lungs
each time i draw a breath
the siren song that splits my ears
and makes me yearn for death

my bones encased in sheaths of ice
a razor wire noose around my heart
mistress of sin, you're still under my skin
where you've been right from the start
