Lizard Skin
copyright © 2001 c. amaris
she falls away
like a lizard's skin
i've grown too weary
to wear her
anymore
she is all smiles and optimism
where she lies broken and forgotten,
bleeding
dead skin cells like
memories
scraped to oblivion
she is dead
and i am pink and
new
soft to the
touch
but this time, somehow
invulnerable.
