Shedding skin

I don´t want you to look at me while
I´m shedding skin.
I can´t afford for you to see what´s in.
I´d rather shoot myself than have you watch me.
I feel you´d steal my skin to try and wear me.
I was betrayed, one more day of my short life.
You were carried away. You had no shame.
To suffocate my being.
I was me, but you weren´t you.
You were sticking to me like a scab...
so I peeled you away, and bled for days.
Then stepped out of myself.
I´m shedding skin, changing within, I´m falling in.
Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside.
I´m shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem.
I created the end, I´m killing a friend. I´m shedding my skin.
I don´t think you belong in here,
I feel I´m sick.
Don´t ask because you know damn well where I´ve been.
I´ve kept a simple woman through the thick and thin.
But I´ve found the guts to sever from my Siamese twin.
I throw you away. Everyday. A dead part of life.
Strangling back. Seething black.
In between my longing for torture.
Blood on my face that came from your face.
The mix of kissing and bleeding.
I put you away. I shut you away.
I pissed you away. I threw you away.
I´m shedding skin, changing within, I´m falling in.
Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside.
I´m shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem.
I created the end, I´m killing a friend. I´m shedding my skin.
You´re fucking, and sucking.
You´re friendless. It´s endless.
Your flower has soured.
It´s endless. You´re friendless.
It´s harder. And stronger.
But no one´s been inside you longer.
Or harder. Or deeper.
To get you off, you need the fear.
It´s never love. Bloody touch.
Broken wrist. Needle rust.
Choking throat. Swallowed teeth.
Head fuck. No peace.
I´m shedding my skin to peel you off of me.
You´ve got to love me.
Ornament. Shrunken head.
Playtoy. Snake strike.
Poisonous. Syphilis.
Drenched me. Soaked me.
I´m shedding my skin to drain you out of me.
You´ve got to hate me.
I´m shedding skin.
I can´t afford for you to see what´s in.
I´d rather shoot myself than have you watch me.
I feel you´d steal my skin to try and wear me.
I was betrayed, one more day of my short life.
You were carried away. You had no shame.
To suffocate my being.
I was me, but you weren´t you.
You were sticking to me like a scab...
so I peeled you away, and bled for days.
Then stepped out of myself.
I´m shedding skin, changing within, I´m falling in.
Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside.
I´m shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem.
I created the end, I´m killing a friend. I´m shedding my skin.
I don´t think you belong in here,
