Overshadowed

Curtains of shadow
Constantly close on me
Overlapping one another
the fabric I slowly seep
into the stitches  
From the pieces
You ripped
And tried to rebuild
The skin
you tried to conceal

This burden I carry
With me, the weight
of the curtains, now
My back is hurting
After all black is
The densest shade
Absorbing only
The dankest vibes
A cleansing shame   of
Filth while I thrive  
Quilted by
Curtains of shadow
Shield me from
This burden I carry
The feelings come and go
Crash and suck back just
Waves in an ocean
Convulsions indulgent
& burdening in nature
To reenact this inertia  
Shadows static & magic
Consume me as the curtain falls
And falls and falls on me
