Inside, tearing me down

Face the mirror, I lie.



White when I look away

And it’s really gone dark.



I cover the lights every time,

That’s not me.



Foot prints in grey,

You see me.



I wish I was cured.

The ribbons that held us well,

So beautifully and clean,

Have now begun to fray.



The winds are strong tonight,

So I just wish you wouldn’t,

Go out and sail alone.



The dark ocean pierces me,

Ice water through my veins,

I’m scared my heart will stop.



I watch you row into the blue,

And cry in the dark.

for I now know, It’s closing time.
