Push it down
Force it in
A gap between the legs
It's not a good thing
Ribs and chest look underdressed
And this bra is missing a bit of breast
Appetite has took a little hit
We will need to attend to it
So make a sandwich
Eat it all up
We must remember
Eat your grub!

My heart won't shut up
If it were a sound
It would be a chello
That is played so softly
Before being repeatedly smashed to bits

Like a rotten tooth
Under the Ribs
It throbs in its dull ache
In waves of salty grief
Sometimes there's nothing
& the nothing will last for days
(Perhaps I made it all up?)
Then I feel the pesky thing
A tiresome dole pain
Putting my hand to my chest
As i write even now
It comes again

he
he came seeking nothing
yet found what he wasn't looking for
there was nothing he sought
but he found it anyway

when he found it
he couldn't let it be
it meant nothing to him
but he had to have it anyway

it was not his to take
it belonged to another
but he took it anyway
just because he could

once he had it
he didn't want it
he was ready to leave
but not before his last act
which was to destroy it
so that no one could have it

The Pool

I ooze despair
I leak despiration
it pools at my feet
warns others of the misery
till me soal does leave
my lifeless shell
my sagging skin

I watch you
you leave slowly
inching away
does guilt wrap you?
tether you still
close to me
the pool does drift you anyway
and away you go.

The noise

I felt relief
although my heart did stop with grief
the silence hugged me tightly
wrapping it's warm arms around me

The relentless barking is gone
but your steady beating heart is too
your hair I used to brush
is now buried under smooth ground
This is about my dog who died. She had a brain tumour which lead her to bark all the time so this poems about my guilt after we had to put her down.

I wish I didn't care
that innocents die whilst I write stupid poems
that human lives are treated as despensable
that people suffer death over petty disputes
in a world run by toddlers

I wish I could live in ignorance
that I did not know the worlds struggles
that people starve in poverty
whilst I make a mess of baking cupcakes
that animals are beaten and abandoned
humans abused

I wish I didn't care
I wish I had the attitude of the rich
in their posh gold thrones
with the power to end the problems
but no will to

I sketch my face
The unusual silhouette created by my hair
Whispy pieces blowing in my face
Resting on my chubby cheeks
That do protect my lips graceful arch
My noses flat tip

I fill in the colour
My skin red as I blush
Mixed with my natural warm yellow tones
That hide beneath the surface

I wore no makeup
No foundation or bronzer
No concealer or highlighter
No lip gloss or eyeshadow
Bare skin looking back at me

I paint an image of my face
It does not look the same as the one I Invision
I wonder if I'm a bad artist
Or have never seen my true self before

To suffer after pain
Is to simply experience
Pain in suffering
I constantly bring myself
To think about everything.

What hurts me
has hurt me
will hurt me
