Inside a house
Dark outside,
you see inside.
I’m standing there,
without a care,
but looking out,
i’m full of doubts.
I’m projecting pride,
but have nearly died.
He makes my tea,
you see he loves me.
I appear to have done
nothing for it.
My inner voice,

where you can’t see,
I slice my extremity,
the blood runs down,
into the family’s dishes.

If those people that they stare at
Really live it die or roam the streets
Wondering if there lives are nothing

I am a gust of failure that ruins,

Searching for open windows,
A chance to kill herself.

My Mum's Lover
A house,
a staircase
it was an accident
you hit me
with your words
it's my home I say
but you don’t care
you have come in
again
soon you will leave
but not me, her
I find my bedroom
solace and silence
the smallness of me
