What is love but
Belonging
He is my village

Seize

Della La Count Oct 2023

Seize

Oh if only
I could spend every day
Here in this tiny room
Pleasantly sleepy
With you
Hogging my pillow
Hogging my blanket
And hogging my heart
Purring

Self Harm

Della La Count Oct 2023

Self Harm

I hated where I was buried
I kept trying to dig my way back out

Hope

Della La Count Sep 2015

Hope

I chased fleeting glimpses of dreams
Picking my way through plumage
With man-made wings of wax and feathers
I cast myself from a cliff
I flew for a moment

But was left with broken bones.

Hate is a Strong Word

Della La Count Sep 2015

Hate is a Strong Word

When you finally get my heart in your claws
before the blood cools,
I want you to swallow it.
Swallow it whole
and choke on it.
