When you lie

I

Cover it up.

When you cry

I

Cover it up.

When you hide

I

Cover it up.

When you bleed

I’m there

To cover it up.

When you fall apart

I’m there

To cover it up.

When you lie

I’m there

To cover it up.

When I lie

You

Yell and you sneer.

When I cry

You

Drown me in my tears.

When I hide

You

Come find me in the dark.



When I bleed

You tell me

Clean it up.

When I fall apart

You’re there

To scatter the pieces.

When I cry

You

Drown me in my tears.

In the dark

I hear your voice

Calling out my name

Like I have a choice.

In the dark

I see your face

Sneering at me

And cackling like demonic witch.

In the dark

I swear you can smell my fear

Like dog gone wild

Or a hog untied.

In the dark

I hug myself.
