The fabric of romance has worn too thin,
A veil to shield my eyes,
So I won't have to see what I know I must see,
So others won't see who I know I must be,
So I stay in my cage though I try to fly free,
So the past will not write a reprise.

Along with my veil of dramatic black,
Gloves I also wear
So I won't have to touch the hearts I must touch,
So I hide my hands though I know I cannot,
So I will hold back when I want to reach out,
So I pretend that I don't care.

At the funeral of a nameless someone
Whose faceless face I'm unable to see,
I cannot help but cry
But to wipe the tears from my eyes,
I must remove my black silk gloves
And draw back the veil over my eyes,
And in the light that follows the rebirth
Of the one I thought had died,
I can almost see what I could not see:
The ghost in the casket was I.

I read not thinking, so as to let come out. The end suddenly made me realize a rebirth. My hopes are this is not only the first.
