Cover Me in Black
A poem that documents emotions in relation to recovering from an abusive relationship as a vulnerable adult.
Do you ever fear what could have happened if?
Or do you ever think about things you did?
Have you ever wondered how someone you once knew is now?
Do you ever count the sheep and think about the times you never had.. all the tears you had to cry?
Well I have
And I do
And I'm still not over you so
Cover me in black and
Throw me in the trash and
Feed me with your lies I
Ain't your alibi
And Throw me at the wall
Just to watch me as i fall
And laugh as I cry I
Ain't your allaby
I'm caged into my fear
It's not so clear what happened here
I still think of you when I'm sad
And you make me realise that I'm glad
I'll never love again
But
You were in my dreams just yesterday
I think of the things I didn't say
It's like the time just flew away
I wonder how it got to today
I rush to the store to grab the alcohol and more
Just to drink away my pain
And smoke away your gain so
Cover me in black and
Throw me in the trash and
Feed me with your lies I
Ain't your alibi.
And Throw me at the wall
Just to watch me as I fall
And laugh as I cry I
Ain't your alibi.
