Rust on My Skin

Rust on My Skin
The rust has settled on my skin
A lifetime’s worth of love and pain
The years have turned, and I begin
To wonder what we tried to gain

A lifetime’s worth of love and pain
Is carved into the lines I wear
I wonder what we tried to gain
When all we have is fading air

Rust on my skin, a life grown old
A story that was never told
We loved, we fought, we broke apart
Now rust remains where once was heart

Is carved into the lines I wear
The wrinkles of the time we spent
When all we have is fading air
I ask what love was ever meant

Rust on my skin, a life grown old
A story that was never told
We loved, we fought, we broke apart
Now rust remains where once was heart
