Skinwalker

By mikeygreenleaf

Am I worth saving
From myself? This
Momentary lapse
Of judgement on my
Part has known no
Keeping under wraps
Follow footprints up
My sleeve you're sure
To find the way. Your
Membership required
Just as long as you
Will pay. Your dues, but
Don't you fret; I know a
Guy who knows a guy
Who'll get you in for
Cheap if you can keep it
On the sly. I know you
Rarely visit keep his
Number just in case
You feel a little down, he'll
Put a smile on your face
It cost a little extra, but
Right now he's got a sale.
Each contributor we get
Can add more weight to
Every scale. Misguided
And afflicted we will duel
Ourselves to death. Steel
And skin our love affair, A
Tryst in charge of every
Breath. Secret sins are
Not so subtle when it's
Written on your face, but
I feel a little better when
We both are out of place.
