father o' mine - Hello Poetry

trauma

I'm tired of dancing with the ghosts
you left behind
I was never yours to haunt
nor mine to torment

this house feels more whole now

I had it
exorcised

paternal love

you gifted me rope
and I used to will it a necklace

minor trigger warning

pierrot

black and blue

you said you loved me
and refused to apologize
for making a painting out of my skin
in the same breath

you should have known
I never fancied impressionism
