Dinosaurs in the breadbin,
Fish fingers in the loo -
If you had to live in our house,
You'd be crazy too!
...

Beneath a room
Where cherubs slept
You lay
Putrescent
...

Rows and rows of boxes
All of them the same
With rooms and rooms of people
Each without a name
...

Solid strong and steadfast
But quiet and cold, I wait:
My flowered walls call out to you
To walk in through my gate.
...

The mother shed
Her crocodile tears
Feigned the love
Denied for years.
...

I'm being stalked...
Haunted by the sweet memory of you and me
Like some sick Grim Reaper
That just won't let me be.
...

Reach out
Won't you,
For my shaky hand-
Peer beyond the confines of this body twisted.
...

Your accusations slice:
Shards in soft flesh pop-
These unforeseen wounds
Spew, bubbled rubies drop.
...

Anger, sadness, tears
Bitter, twisted, fearful
Struggling through the years
Striving to be cheerful.
...
