To you who is reading this,
I want to apologise.
To say that I regret my actions
more than you’ll ever realise.

I’m having a bad day already,
and I’ve only just rolled out of bed.
It’s far too late,
the room’s a state,
...
I’m excited; he doesn’t care.
I’m involved; and he’s not there.
I’m baking with Mum; he’s slouched in bed.
I’m dancing care-free; he’s laid like lead.
...
Why is it,
that if you punish your body with drugs,
You’re normal?
...
He sits there. Calmly.
Letting me drive is lunacy.
And I told him so.
I’ve forgotten all he taught me!
...
So there you are, all dressed and pressed -
emotions in a box.
I seek the lid to put to rest
the ticking of those clocks.
...
As a million tennis courts was she long.
As a thousand elephants was she strong.
But she happened across a slice of ice,
Halved and sank to the watery vice.
