Cloak and Dagger
Something is there looming
Right there over my shoulder
I can feel the presence of something
Menacing
I periodically glance back
It’s dark and heavy
I imagine a cloak and a dagger
I don’t know if it’s just watching my movements
Or hunting me
But I don’t want to fall prey
I pray to a god I don’t believe in
To keep me safe
This was once my sanctuary
Not anymore!
At night I hide under a blanket
I hold your hand tight
To keep the gripping fear
From tearing us apart
You’re the only one here
That’s ever made any sense
My heart is like an anchor in my chest
Pulling me down
Further towards drowning
It’s too much
Sometimes I wish the earth would stop spinning
So I could get off
Just step off into nothing
Hang suspended
Weightless
