Masking Lies

Feeling like a spider trapped in a web,

rejected by most of todays society.

Guts being crushed by a casual hello
trusting no one
wearing black for protection
and hiding in the shadows

If people didn't mention your name,
I could breathe again.

Until then - I bathe myself
in your cologne
hoping no one notices.
