Undead Leper Love

Reality of love.

I got ripped off
Skin removal
I never knew
Cancerous toxins covering my bones in its stead
I'm always the last to know

So please understand
My confusion
when you repelled from my touch
I never knew
I never know
I thought I was still alive
If I knew my fingers were falling off
Victims of soul leprosy
I never would have tried
To touch and to taste
To caress your silk skin

But like any mindless animal
I'm led to attack for you
Despite a lifetime of being chained foodless to the tree
And a body full of cuts and bruises suffered by you

I'll do it everytime
I'll do it until my brain catches up
And realizes I've been dead for life
