(Why do they call it) A Skeleton in the Closet
March 10, 2014
Why is it called,
A skeleton in the closet?
Your dirty little secret,
The one we've all gotten.
When I lay in the ground,
As the years pass by,
There will be nothing left of me,
Except my bones,
And the words I write.
Flesh will rot,
Hair will go,
And still in the earth,
Will lay your bones.
So why do they call it,
A skeleton in the closet?
Maybe because our skeletons,
Are the things that stay the longest.
