Cover

Over me, more ways than one
Shielding me from the setting sun
Concealing all that comes undone
Masking that which wishes to run
I hide within this, darkest mist
Eyes empty of tears I've missed
Rage clenched tightly in my fist
Urge to break, feel hopeless bliss
A sleeve to hide, the lowest pride
From one, grew twelve more, I lied
The front, back, on each and every side
Two inches long, a hairsbreadth wide
And when I've aged beyond my years
Escaped all of my impending fears
I'll cry my cries upon deaf ears
Praying, hoping someone hears
I see you, you can't see me
I'll try save you, while you ache to be free
You want this help, yet cut me so deeply
This is why I find comfort in shadows, see?

[Blackness all around, all around, till nothing remains]
