Mumble

In the dark I mumble songs
To comfort me when I am
Afraid of what I might say
What I might become in day
In the dark I cut words
Across the scene, across the heart
Fill the space to keep me
Secure, safe within spite myself
In the dark I am overtaken
By the emotions I never
Hold into account, never
Seem to understand
So they build their fortresses
High so I can see and not ignore
Even as I wish for crumbled ruins
In the dark I mumble songs
To comfort when I am
Afraid of what lingers in
Emotions I cannot find a name for
