skin deep

stretched like leather
worn and tired
holding all the life inside

tainted and dry
semi-precious and dated
this is what time has long created

inject!
inject!
you cannot be seen
strip back all the rust and see me as clean

i stand beside you
not touched or held
night cast its shadow
and time cast his spell

come in close so you can be heard
whisper - i feel your breath
no need to hear each word
