Sunlight peeks through the cracks

Beaming faded rainbows ever so lightly

Flickering with waves that dance,

From brisk winds and rotted trees

These curtains replenish me,

Shade my burnt skin.

Understand this

We are all the same

Black or white or brown or yellow

You have a heart

You have a big fat brain

I'm sure we are the same

If I can use my sight

Understand this

So can you!

Open your shiny pathetic eyes,

We are the same

Human

I know it was hard, life

It was hard to love yourself

As you gave all of that to us

I wish I could touch your burnt skin

Or hear the crackle in your voice

A Broken home

I miss you banging the cupboards

We are right here Mum

Where are you?

Why cant we see you anymore?

I keep trying to make lemon pie

Imagining you are beside me

It never turns out

You aren't here anymore

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I see the look in her eyes

As she slides her tongue

over her soaked lips

Red

Her skeleton is frail

Pale

It's in her eyes

Constricted black

I see the look in her eyes
