Stairwell Grey

If I told you to scar me
Perhaps you would understand
I love the moon
He does something to me

Stop falling asleep in the moonlight friend
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
You're biting me again
How many rabbits did you eat?

See?
Now you've pressed those canines
in deep- deep enough
a scar will be realized once
connective tissue covers this oozing hole

Me and  the moon know
You're a wolf
In comes the sunshine
You will never realize
How I love you so

Hiding

I dwelt with him who hides

As you’d expect, those were dark times

The darkness has a way of pulling you in

You are frightened first

But your fright is replaced with thirst

And invincibility muddies perception

You learn to live for sensation

Because vision and noise know not

Know not your crimes

He who hides knows

In the bright he paints a prettier picture

It captured my eye

From which came his dark lullaby

The hook caught my mouth

He took a bite and spelt my name in blood

You may wonder how I ever could

But we adapt

He who hides is known for his guise

Have you seen him remove the mask?

Never! And I ask because you believe in him

He takes it off in the dark

The contrast is stark

Perhaps he thought I had one too.

I painted my face with black

But I had no outer shell to remove.

You see,

I have learned to detest him who hides

Pain may come with sight

But numbing darkness is a prison

Too solemn for a sound mind.

If you wish to hide

Leave yourself behind.
