My body turns cold,
Covered in Black cloth.
Hiding all the changes,
Keeping people out.
Daring to step outside,
People soon quick to stare.
Watching them as I go,
Through this draped veil.
I want to be left alone,
Kept separate from the world.
Away from annoying questions,
That everyone tends to repeat.
This veil is my safety net,
Shielding me from them.
Their never ending badgering,
Making me remember the past.
Leave me alone!
I don't want them near me.
Leave me in this darkness,
Behind this veil of loneliness.
