keep me safe
“Don’t touch my face”
Bonding over gossip and designer drama
High class Handbags
“Where is daddy?”
Reverse protector
Power struggle
“Please don’t cry”
“It’s going to be okay”
Pills and silence
Bouts of unprovoked violence
Over burnt toast reasons
It’s okay, I love you too
Every season in a day
Blistering sun
Pounding rain
It all feels just the same
A daughters forgiveness
Can be stronger than your platinum voldka
But never tastes as sweet
Or bitter as guilt
It burns, your words
Empty eyes hold the fire
Watch you fall, get up again
Repeat the motion
It’s all you know
Don’t throw a half empty glass and call it a bitch for breaking
Half dead in your bed
It haunts me in flashes
A broken record trapped in my own personal hell
I hate you for what you did
But I forgive you for all the sins you repent to me face, or not
“Keep me safe”
I keep you alive
Throw a dime for the labor of my blood nightmares and sleepless nights and I’ll love you forever
Even after the drugs decay
Your poor troubled brain
A little girl in hiding like ashadow in the corner
But I am the child
And you are the mother
