Beneath the skin

By RibbonHeart

Beneath the skin
A curse did grow
Beneath the skin
Your love was sewn.

Beneath the skin
Hungry and cold
Beneath the skin
Muscles feel old.

Beneath the skin
A ghost awaits
Beneath the skin
A searing hate.

Beneath the skin
That child is forgotten
Beneath the skin
Everything's rotten.
