Skin & Sorrow

Each tear feeds the fear
Sadness, I once held dear
Single, ragged breath
Swells in the dance of death

Hide your eyes
Hide your eyes

All skin and sorrow
You stand
Lament the hours not spent
Held by a grieving hand
Poetry written, not sent

Invested in your misery
Mourning, avail your injury
You, with the broken wing
Bandage your heart
And sing

Hide your eyes
Hide your eyes

All skin and sorrow
You stand
Lament the hours not spent
Held by a grieving a hand
Poetry written, not sent

I remember the nights
You blessed me with your eyes
Rest now, beautiful soul

I remember the nights
You blessed me with your eyes
Bless me, beautiful soul
