Shedding

Darling don't you weep for me

Don't weep for the husk you see

When I shed this skin I can become whole again

Your affection is well received

Although it is not welcome in this kingdom of the heartless

When I shed this skin I can become warm again

Darkest eyes of the coldest color are ever so inviting

Invite me in but I cannot stay

I'm on a quest for a better skin to fit in

When I shed this skin I can fill this whole again
