Is this side private, that side free?

Do bodies have a boundary?

Do you divide your flesh?

KEEP OUT on your right arm,

I stayed put, you moved on

With not a backward glance,

Its cold and dark down here

Hearing your merry dance

In the cellars of your heart

This place has other ghosts

Chains clanking like mine

Brooding sadly about how
