Jaded Shadow

Only a jaded shadow in the corner    
Simply a shadow of a skeleton  
     that just wont stay hidden    
Because last i checked my flesh was warm    
Because last i checked my heart still breaks and skips a beat when a guy kisses me    
Because last i checked corpses do not feel anything but I....    
I feel everything right down to the core    
   
Its a blessed curse to be this jaded shadow    
Nothing more than a suppressed mistake    
Transformed into a skeleton with the fables and silence    
It keeps finding its way to the surface of reality    
   
Sin in a woman tattoos her skin with crimson scars    
Seeping so far into her that it can be seen in her eyes    
   
Its a horrendous creature to look at    
The aftermath of monstrous acts this    
Living breathing jaded shadow
