Mummy`s Love (Hidden in Anger)

Mummy’s Love. (Hidden in Anger).

 

I can feel my mummy's love I know it's in there somewhere.

As the hands rein down on me, I know somewhere inside she cares.

I can feel my mummy's love even though it's hidden in despair.

I know she has a lot of love to give but the anger is always there.

 

I can feel my mummy's love as my ears ring with a bout of insulting words.

Life of a child

Daddy said he couldn't get sober, couldn't get sober,

A rifle,

A crossbow

Hastened his subtraction

From the dense 

Equation of life.

 

Now the royal

Chimera

Why this sense of loss and betrayal
locked behind prison bars of portrayal?
Intestines writhe, so pining for
relief from the blood that I abhor.

We were born as a fragment of a family
we were childlike, optimistic, and free

In the beginning

In the beginning he would wake at every peculiar sound that came from the babies crib 

In the beginning he would bring me a beverage as I fed his son whilst the moon was dimly lit 

In the beginning he would rush home from work eager to see the family he created 

In the beginning we were the people whom he could be himself and escape with 

In the beginning we were enough
