Only my skin

Why do you tell me it’s better this way
Better than dying  just after a prayer
It’s only my skin and there’s nothing to say

Life is a wave and it comes every day
Dreams  of great beauty , the lessons are clear
Why do you tell me it’s better this way?

You used to like saying, wanna get laid?
But when we grow older these feelings grow rare
You were biting my skin and there’s lots I might  say

I liked that some people thought I was staid
When I’d do whatever, if it was a dare
Why do you wonder ,is it better this way?

Skin is so fragile, we touch  our dismay
The in and the out are nearer by far
It’s  my only  skin and that’s all I ‘ll say

Sand in my eyes and smoke in my hair
You are the wolf who keeps his own lair
Why do you tell me it’s better this way?
We’re thinner than skin but there’s nothing to say
