Book of skin

This wallpaper is dying 
never having seen the sun 
light crucifies all dark 

This life has stained my ears 
stolen my sight from seeing 
I am a house without a heart 

Beyond all sins 
Dark red rivers I swim 
for sanity is knocking at my door 

From these pores, I seek 
A truth that now has spoken 
Etched in the gallop of stolen time 

In the garden of discontent 
The lilies have withered 
stigma of scent 

Falls upon me 
You are a book of skin 
You are a book of history 

Sometimes I thought I could read you 
When I skipped a page etched too deeply 
In the echo of your memory 

I spoke , once too often 
I spoke, once too late 

I am a book of skin 
I am a book of history 
Now read me not 
No more...
