Take out your love from my skin away

Take out your love from my skin away,

the remnants of your breath from my strangling airway,

tear my bruised body and hunt into my slumbering tissue,

The part of my blood which used to define you.

Take out your love from my skin away,

now that i have turned around my direction from your way,

squeeze out the pictures which are still stuck in my heart,

by fading your fragments as you go on in your path..

Take out your love from my skin away,

the concluding desire for which i crave and pray,

stop the rhythm of your echo that still burns my ear,

and the broken chunks of you that i can no more bear.
