Silhouette of a Dancer

My skin still burns

At all the places you've touched

So aware

You leave no place for hiding

Not last night

Not this time

I close my eyes, so the world can't see me

And draw the silhouette of a dancer in my head

I can't look through your eyes

But my mind betrays mine

Should I starve unmarked?

Or confess to my blindness

My eyes still hurt

Fighting chasing lights

As they form

Silhouettes behind me

Let them go

This time

Waiting for a change

I can't fight these chains

Every day,

I bleed to avoid the pain

Every day

I fade a little more

I close my eyes, so the world can't see me

And draw the silhouette of a dancer in my head

I can't look through your eyes

But my mind betrays mine

Should I starve unmarked?

Or confess to my blindness
