I built this house
Of glass with stone
I watch you break it with my bones

She smiles because she's your go-to child
The one that gets all the praise
The one who accepts all your rage
Even as she's growing
You won't ever know it
Because hormones are bad
And mood-swings won't ever be had
Even though she hates it
She smiles as she fakes it
Her facade or innocence
Is quite actually painfully brilliant
She has everyone around her finger
Though the tightness of it always stings her
She smiles as she's called sweet
Kind and lovely
Smart and hardworking
Honest and trustworthy
Strong and preserving
Beautiful and genuine
Because she's not she's
Mean and unlikeable
Dumb and lazy
A liar and unhonest
Ugly and fake
But somehow no one sees
Her broken and horrid self
Through her sickly sweet
Kind and innocent
Full of joy and love
Fake facade

Nice One, Dad!

The closest you've ever gone
To having a perfect son
Was a broken daughter
Who's just like her father

Haha, He'll Never Like me

No matter how much I deny it
There's truly no reason to fight it
I am my father's child
Even if we don't align
What's mine is yours and your is mine
Even if I hate your soul
Mine is growing into it's mold
Even if I hate your skin
Mine is just as paper thin
No matter if we have the same brain
We just can't be the same
I fear I will grow into you
Grow into a knot monster that nothing can undo
Your praise is what I crave
A drug numbing my brain
I'll always adore you
Even if I'm scared of you
Even if I want nothing to do with you
Even if my fears come true
And
I turn into you

The Curse Called Love

Every night as the stars are hung
I run to your gaslighting arms
I kiss you manipulating cheeks
Because I love you and you make me feel seen
I chop off all my limbs
Gifting you them so your glow will never dim
I realize your the worst
But loving you is my curse
Realization dawns like the sunrise
And to no one's surprise
I come running back every night

I Hate you so I Love you

I love you
I love you and I trust you
I love you and I trust you so I tell you everything
Even though I love you and I trust you you're not trustworthy
I love you and I trust you but if I don't tell you
What you want to hear
I'm scared you won't care
I'm scared you're going to hate me
I'm scared you're going resent me
I'm scared you'd get mad
But I tell you anyway
And I bare the consequences
Because I love you and trust you
Because I love you and I trust you so much I hate you
But I can't hate you
Not even if I wanted to
Not even if I genuinely do

Doves of Pure White

My sister had bruised ribs and so do I
It's purple, blue yellow and green
Cold rotten meant is the only relief
We live in a house with floors of seven
We dress in tunics of silk and saten
Until we turn to doves of pure white
I continue to hold her tiny sobbing body
Through the unforgivable night
We'll leave never hearing a 'sorry'
All we want to hear is a 'sorry'
'sorry'
