Poems

35

You can't quite begin to understand

All that's seen is boundless rage and you just want to scream

Punch or cry at everything

You can't quite begin to understand your parents thoughts

Don't know why they like to shout

They never really do hurt each other physically

But you can always hear it

The venom that coursed deep into there bones

And ferments into a virus of distrust and anger

I cry out silently, hoping for them to stop

Wishing for them to stop

I felt my door crumble beneath my palm as I slammed it closed

A hole that I covered with a poster of my favourite band

A hole that cut deep in my heart at the loss of my parents love

I'm angry. I spent years wondering why. I spent years wondering what I've done. I've spent YEARS wondering if it was me.

And I still don't know.

Maybe the love just got sucked out of us all,
