This conscious game
Watching the pain
Playing the blame
From name
To frame

Jasmine
Flowers bloom
to quickly die
Making love
the weather
in my eye.

Caught
You tried
You lied
We died
NO.
You coloured
The truth to share
My feelings to spare
Your feelings you thought
Were taught
Look now

SIBLING COMFORT*
You will be my baby #tonight.
Monsters in my bed
playing in my head
close my eyes with
horror and dread
Please don’t.
snap the golden thread
else I might wake up dead.
little girl ravaged
rewired instead.
I’m your baby tonight.

Dependency smoking
From the Fire
Living
Down to the wire
Trying to enjoy
moments of pain
Watching wives
selling
themselves
tattooed
in the rain.
