Enter the Void

I am afraid of unstructured time.
For an hour or so...there was an almost empty window.
Must dos running out.
Panic rising.
This next window, is very, very full.
Phew......

In your eyes

We found some middle ground.
Where I know you keep me safe.
And you know I keep you safe.
Where you do the numbers.
And I do the people.
And somehow we help each other survive.
I know, that you know it's true.

Here

On days like this, you and me just like to hide away.
While the rest of the world does what it's meant to do...we just like to be.

Mommy dearest

Mother...you are everything I never want to be.
For a Mother who means trouble to me.
Wishing you weren't mine...on Mother's Day.
Sadly, these titles are sadly lacking in all good cards shops.

True Colours

When he limped towards me, I looked away.
When he said he felt cheated, my words caught in my throat.
When he told me that I have the most beautiful smile....I had to question everything.
I have been afraid of him for a long time.

Gas Mask

The smell of Lynx drifts down my stairs.
My boy is growin' up.
I don't know why he uses it like fly spray.
If I didn't love him so much...I could choke.
Maybe I will...maybe I won't.

Neglect

It would be hugely helpful...if I could just start believing.
I thought I had.
Turns out old habits die hard.
