In the dark.
Alone.
Cowering in the closet for too long.
I found a pair of powder wings,
disintegrating,crumbling on a hanger.
I try them for size
They mould to my shape.

It doesn't cross my mind to question why someone,
had left the chemical feather wings behind.

Blazing eyes of contempt and disappointment,
engage with my own swelling pupils.
Your stabbing stare means nothing to me;
It's too real.
I'd rather hide here, wrapped in my security sheet,
separating me from the painful truth,
and reminders of reality, like you.

Dead, twisting trees line my path home,
Piercing the bleak sky above,
The shadows hollow me out on my way.

But the darkness dissolves
and that dark, looming cloud above,
will unfurl and reveal its lining of gold.
Immersed in the attractive sparkle,
Obsessed by the sensation of shining.

I never want the glow to fade.

I've been sitting in here.
In the dark.
Alone.
Cowering in the closet for too long.

Obsessed by the sensation of shining.

I never want the glow to fade.
