Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Fold by fold,
Layer by layer;
In my soul,
Under my skin.
What lays in my mind,
Remains unknown;
Ready to scream,
Prepared to run—
From another situation,
Dragging me in.
Unarmed,
For just a bit—
Already,
My heart has been slit;
Pushing deeper,
Blood trickles down.
Ending the fight,
As my body gives in;
Throw me over,
Spit me out.
I stand on the edge;
Tempting you, I see.
Shove a little harder,
And set me free.
I’m about ready to give in,
Ready to die.
Give me a reason,
And I will vanish—
Out of sight,
Out of mind.
