Another poem book because I have learned how to write not as shitty poems

A few more short ones

Maybe this house has forgotten how to smile

—————-

I found hate in a mother's eyes

For I had taken her sunshine, her smiles, and cloaked lies

and threw them in her face

But how can you deceive an instinct?

How could you not love me the way you always said

You learned how to hate your own creation

and make it hate itself

—————

Hold your tongue between chattering teeth

As you relinquish a part of your sanity

To an old photograph,

That has taken the red from your cheeks

And placed it in their eyes

—————

Do you see happiness in the form of light

And sadness in the lack of it

Do you think time will change all the memories you had

Into a darker shade of emotions

Till smiles are painted red

And eyes are just black, lifeless holes in everyone's head

For I've lost the feeling your face once gave me

And wonder if I could ever get it back

———————

I have melted away

All feeling and limbs are a distant memory

That once laid atop my stiff mattress

But has now fell through it

I couldn't tell you if I went with them

Just that I found a face in the patterned ceiling

A little different from the one yesterday, and the day before that
