Distance and Trust

[TheDeadMan]

~Distance~
I pull it around me like a cloak
And watch youthrough its folds
It muffles every word and gesture
Every move I make
If you were to strike me
I would feel shadow-blows
If you were to hold me
I would feel shadow-comfort
My distance is my security
But its refuge is cold and numb


~Trust~
My trust is a child's rag doll
Torn to pieces and thrown to the ground
Glass eyes staring at uncaring hands
Bright patchwork dress trampled and stained
Stuffing-substance leaking to the wind
Smiling broken at the shining blue sky
