In Abeyance

Hiding in plain sight
As the curtains fall
It's a reminder of what's been
And what's not
Death creeps around me
And I take every chance

The difference between
Daydreams and nightmares
Ceases to exist

I am a curse
Concealed
I cease to exist

I wish nothing more than death upon the man

Everyone I know
Looks like strangers
Am I dreaming?

Black clouds gather
Shapes disappearing
Do you even care?

I wish nothing more than death upon the man

Step by step
I shut my ears
And close my eyes
And run away

Hiding in plain sight
As the curtains fall
