You are gone and I am inside out,
Smell now my corpse, smell now my too-thin skin!
Bare and exposed, I smell the mess I'm in.
But gone is your nose.
You are gone and I am inside out,
Taste now my tears, lick now my loyal blood!
Bare and exposed, I taste the aching flood.
But gone is your tongue.
You are gone and I am inside out,
Touch now my face, hold now my lonely hand!
Bare and exposed, I feel my pain expand.
But gone is your touch.
You are gone and I am inside out,
Hear now my grief, hear now my groan and sigh!
Bare and exposed, I hear I speak no lie.
But gone are your ears.
You are gone and I am inside out,
See here my flesh, and there my heart and soul!
Bare and exposed, I am no longer whole.
But gone are your eyes.
You are gone and I am inside out,
Know now my love, and too my faith and hope!
Bare and exposed, I know they won't elope.
But you are gone.
