Inside a house
Dark outside,
you see inside.
Iām standing there,
without a care,
but looking out,
iām full of doubts.
Iām 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,

the blood runs down,
into the familyās dishes.

but she is overwhelmed.
Searching for open windows,
A chance to kill herself.Ā

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 donāt care
you have come in
again
soon you will leave
but not me, her
