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
