Moonlight Dwelling

Itching away at my skin
Nails scratching away the flesh
Blood comes flowing out
I am being driven insane
Flecks of flesh and blood
Trailing from the wound
Scars are left behind
A constant reminder
Trying to forget everything
Concentrate on scratching
Scratch the bad stuff away
Disappear with the flow
Take it all away and leave
Just make it all go away
