Skin and Bones

Skin and Bones As the tears swell up in my eyes, then fall upon my face You look at me in despair I wonder if you loved me, or if you even cared Was this the real masterpiece, or just an affair My heart tries to be gentle and cover the pain My mind come to reality and tells me nothing was really even there For I have no heart left, the last shot has been blown For all I have left is skin and bones You were my life, I gave you all I had So what did I do that was so bad I loved you for you, something no one else had done You were once my King, and I was your Queen Now all we are is just a fairy tale dream You got what you wanted, now here is my heart I give it to you, for you were the one who slashed it apart I have no use for it now, it does me no good What good is a soul, with a heart that is scorned And all I have left is skin and bones My body wonders through time, my soul has no life Doing what is expected of me, still trying to find What you took away The joy, the happiness, my life that once was Now I am motionless, tranquil, I feel no pain Awaiting for death, because I see no hope For all I am is skin and bones By: Tammy R.
