Naked (The Stripped Edit)

naked…

turn away, can’t bear to be seen
stripped, all stitches

standing small, head in hands
wracked by swift death
who comes sudden
bone in throat,
rusty eye

I have brought you nothing…

salt and blood
have sealed this pact

all is barren
because I am barren
holding the husk

of what once was a man
