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
