Blindfolded
I'm good at being alone.
I'm used to being alone...
But not like this- not like
I can't tell if I'm alone
Or not- as if
You have blindfolded me
In silence, then left me
In silence- I don't know
If you are close or
Out of reach-
Would you hear me
If I screamed?
Are you still watching
To see what I'll do,
Or did you leave
A long time ago?-
I just don't know;
You didn't tell me
Anything-
You're not telling me
Anything-
I reach out my arms
But I don't know
What to reach for...
A hand?
A wall?
A door?
Is there anything left
To reach for?
