Moment from Strange Beings by Alayne May

last night i
was caught up in myself
i saw shadow impressions
of a woman wronged
and turned back the covering
and a man came undone
with a deep blue stare and his heart exposed
i buried my head into the ground
and turned into stone

here for a moment
i hate when i seem to ruin it
i hate when i hurt someone i love
someone i promised to protect

permanent
i don't want it to be permanent
but that's just how it seems it is
when you hurt someone,
that scar will always live on their skin

i isolate myself
like a spider that's anxiously spinning her thread
and i've woven a dark fabric in my head
and it captures everything
that tries to pass
you flutter through the sky
or so you attempt
and i'm so sorry you were tangled in my web
and now i'm just a monster that's in a woman's skin
i'm betraying everyone that let's me in

here for a moment
i hate when i seem to ruin it
i hate when i hurt someone i love
someone i promised to protect

permanent
i don't want it to be permanent
but that's just how it seems it is
when you hurt someone,
that scar will always live on their skin
