There is anger in your eyes.
Instability
when you look at me
I fear for my safety,
we both know what
you could do.

What you are capable of.

In these moments
your eyes are incapable of
love.
All I can do is look
above me, into
your face
and pray you do
not erase me.

You could.

We both know it.
If it had ever gone to blows,
who knows what
could have happened?
I honestly don't know,
and so, I sunk
low into the ground
when you glared.

I thought I could tame you,
through the rare times you were
scary
and the times in which you
laughed,
it was always a shame when
those moments passed.

Hello Mr Hyde
where is Mr Jeckll?
Allow me to laugh along
as you heckle me
and my family,
stand alongside me
and taunt me.

No one's going to stop you.
What could they do?

They thought me safe,
within your embrace.
The only one in our 'family'
who could calm you,
they all 'knew' that I loved you.

And I did.

You were everything.
Absolutely everything.

After all, you stayed.
You played along with
my childish whims,
you made me grin and laugh,
helped me plan my path
of dependence on you.

I thought that, as I grew,
you'd stay.
I thought you could be constant.
Apparently not.

You helped to start this rot,
began the knot in my stomach.
You took my breath away,
leaving me to choke on air
all too aware of my fragility,
all too incapable of stability.

Every one appears as you.
Everybody new.
Even if I trust them,
I still can't shake the feeling
that they're not going
to hang about.
Always worry they're about
to shout.
Always thinking I'm about to
accidentally shut them out
in panic.

You were far too manic.
Mood changing
rearranging our lives
at the drop of a hat.
Bat us out of the way,
scream until we sway
with your force.

In so many ways, I am lucky for that divorce.

If you hurt him
I will hunt you down
through the ground, dirt, even
to the grave.
There is no rock I would not raise
in search of vengeance,
if you hurt him.

And if you hurt her
There will never be a place
whence you can race to hide.
You'd be safer off with suicide
with your chances of escape.
If you hurt her.

And even then, I'd scrape up
your DNA, clone you, resurrect and
ensure that you pay for your crimes.

My Family
My Friends
My loved one's pain
shall never end with
dissatisfaction.

Hurt someone I love, and
you'll never find freedom again.

You have been warned.

The casket rolls by, far up ahead
and chorister's choirs sing the dead
to rest.
Those who are left behind, left awake,
to find solace on Earth within another.

Far from their mother,
brother,
sister,
lover or
other.

They're left to suffer above the ground,
fruitlessly searching for the sound of
a heartbeat,
a whisper,
a sign,
that once more they might wipe off
the grime of dirt and earth,
watch a rebirth,
feel a kiss,
a hug
a brief second of love
again from the person they
have left.

The death that has left them bereft
of everything.

"Without them, there is nothing."
Feels half formed, will try editing soon.

I want you here,
want you to stroke my neck
and kiss away the thoughts
from my head, turning the
tossing water to calm,
clear ocean,
the fog lifted and turned to
clarity.

Want you to hold me in,
tight, yet so terribly soft,
scared to break me.
Hold me tighter, so
I can never leave
the safety of your embrace.

Block out the world,
what need for sun
should I possess when
within your presence
your caress can lift
away any cloud?
Rain droplets brushed
from my face,
a single ray of light
left to play through
my hair.

Possess me.
Not violently,
but with absolution,
your arms a perch in
a caged world.

I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what I can do
It doesn’t matter, I don’t care
I can no longer dare
To give a **** about my
Future plans, as the
Sands of time prepare to
Drop a deadline on my head
The shattered glass stabbing
Me as I lay in bed
Attempting to sleep
Attempting to keep
My mind together
This time.

Whenever it sorts itself out
(cos I can’t try any more)
I shall scream with open joy
I sing from my very core

That I’m happy

***** in your court world.

Thank you for the self doubt, today.
I was too shocked to retaliate properly,
it seemed too obvious to say
the words that I wished to.

That I am not you.

I'll not make your mistakes
I won't choose those men
the type you forever chose
time and time again.

I'm not you.

I am filled with self consciousness,
low self esteem,
my trust issues are high
and my confidence is not what it seems.

You made me a wreck.

I'm not you,
I'm paranoid and
suspicious and
tense.
Always waiting in
suspense
to pull up my
defences once
again.

But, I'm not you.

I'm always going to try,
I'll always have to
trust with
reluctance,
but trust I must do.
I am not you,
I'm going to find
happiness, this
I know is true.

I'm going to be with someone
who doesn't make me scared,
instead one who comes to my defence,
one who does not glare me into a corner.

"She was not like the mother who bore her"

Romantic I may be
but ignorant I am not
I would rather rot alone
then jump into bed
fully besotted
straightaway.

I'd rather wait and stay
wary. Rather
worry about their lateness
of arrival
then get on the first ride
I see.

What was it you wished me to be?
Stop being scared about your mistakes
and allow me to be me...
After all of that I think I know who I want to be.

Partly you
Partly Dad
Partly memories
Partly friends
Partly family

but, mostly and absolutely

Me. Why is this so difficult for you to see?

I'm pulling you out
I swear I will
I refuse to sit by and
watch you will
away your precious hours
and minutes.

The solution is there,
we just have to find it
and see it.

I'm pulling you out
of the dark hole you
have found yourself trapped within
so suffocated by darkness
you have missed the rays of
the light

Look up, you'll find the sun yet.

First, you must want it.
Not in a 'of course I do' way
but in a truly irrevocable
hunger for freedom

fight for yourself
I dare you to try
You don't know how
much it hurts
to watch another loved one
wish themselves to die.

So, allow yourself to cry
upon my shoulder
once in a while,
you know you shouldn't
hesitate to dial when
you wish to smile
among us, once again.

But, when you go whence
you came, try to smile
without us.
Catch a random bus,
meet a kindly stranger,
find new friends,
mend old bridges,
live whilst we are absent

Do it for yourself
Shelf the old ****
and bring in the new,
***** planks of wood
together (oh my) and
build your heart a home.

Find a new link to freedom,
a new place for happiness
to roam.

Find it, call something new Your Own.

You deserve Happiness
so take it,
you can (YODA).
Imagine all the
monsters have
ran away,
they're too scared
of you
to bother you one
more day.

SAY ******* TO THE *******.
Rawr at them
shout
demand of them
to get on, out

Out of your mind,
out of your bed,
out of your head.

you are stronger than they
have led you to believe.

You are not beyond retrieval,
I beg you to give your all
to yourself.

You belong to you,
we all love you,
but you must accept and
care for you and your
health,
or else what's the point
of anything else.

(And be warned: if
you give up I'm hunting
you down and
annoying you eternally
because I refuse to let
you ******* and
leave me ;) )
(and yes Zala, I did laugh internally whenever I wrote "come" because I am that immature and ***** minded when we talk :) )
