Skin and Bones
I think I'm numb to the core,
right down to the bones.
I think I've given up too much,
I'm only left in skin and bones
I think I let you have me,
I think I gave too much.
I think I've not much left
'cept another cigarette puff.
Naked to the world to see.
So naked and bare,
invisible,
rarely I can see me.
Moments of clarity,
few and far between.
Strength, I search everyday.
In your smile,
in mine,
sadness is all I ever find.
It's all just so mean.
