Flesh torn away from bone.
That's how much it hurts,
To see you wasting away,
Watching this happen to you.

Can you see if I'm still beautiful?
Within I can see who you were,
So happy and still there after all,
And I can see who you are,
You're buried deep within.
I need to know if I'm still beautiful.
You were so perfectly pure,
Underneath it all you always are.
So I can smile at you and say,
Yes, I can see you're still beautiful.
You're still beautiful inside.
