Sitting
In the dark
Feeling the beat
Of my foolish heart
I touch my face
Alien lines push away my fingertips
I don’t feel like me
I am a woman possessed
Eyes widen out to let in more light
Dark unseeing pools disguising my fright
If I can just stay here…
Still in the night
Protected by blindness
Sustained by no sight
Sitting
In the dark
Feeling the beat
Of my foolish heart

Sitting
In the dark
Feeling the beat
Of my foolish heart
I touch my face
Alien lines push away my fingertips
I don’t feel like me
I am a woman possessed
Eyes widen out to let in more light
Dark unseeing pools disguising my fright
If I can just stay here…
Still in the night
Protected by blindness
Sustained by no sight
Sitting
In the dark
Feeling the beat
Of my foolish heart
