How long is a piece of string?
What horrors lie beneath the skin?
We question all to comprehend
And measure life from end to end,
We wrap our hurts with warmth and light,
We ‘seize the day’ to flee the night.
We quicken breath to fend off time,
I take what’s yours, you take what’s mine,
We never pause to rest our feet,
We count the seconds, every beat.
For every puzzle that we solved,
For every crime that was absolved,
Another ten come to the fore,
We take from life, it offers more.
Yet it is not an endless source
To abuse without recourse;
We’ll turn to dust and fade away,
The rope of life will one day fray.
How long is a piece of string?
For how long will this be my skin?
