in a warm wash around her.
The soft orange light illuminates

She is sitting on the floor

Her silhouette is like soft stone
obscuring the glaring morning sun;
I cannot see beyond her,
and I cannot see her face,
but I am thankful she is there.
The low soft hum and tick
of her white bodied Singer
plays like a lullaby
from a music box missing teeth.
She stirs suddenly.
Looking at the clock,
she yawns,
and turns to look at us,
her sleeping children.
Only turning her head, still blocking the light

Lying in the grass alone, defeated.

The vodka I drank still teases my tongue
while cold night air penetrates my clothing.
Salty bitter fire between each lung
Keeps me warm from the cold of self loathing.
The park is spinning as I try to leave,
but I fall back down to my knees and heave.

I sat down in the kitchen and was ordered to eat the casserole whilst I was joined with my dad and we sat anxiously for a phone call from either Charlotte or Mum to give us an update, and finally it came. Almost knocking him from his chair I leaned over and answered demanding to know what was happening. "She's going to be fine." An unconvincing mum revealed.

Every time I glance out and see
Another who looks like you,
I close my eyes to picture
A you before, once warm and true.
Remember those times we spent?
Laughter complimented with a smile.
Times have changed much from when
Things were actually worth while.
Yesterday I dreamt, today I dream as well
Of when I gave you my love.
Yet while I continued on ahead,
You went to the heavens above.
Destiny took you away,
But not this bond of ours.
Memories flood my mind,
As I now stare at the stars.
Changes have occurred since then,
I have matured, being not as wild.
You witnessed my change once before
Growing up with me as a child.

cold and all alone lost in the dark
won't somebody guide me back again,
out of my misery and sadness.
Does anyone care at all
even if I fall and go away
would anyone cry for me,
if I where to die today.
Will someone make me smile
does anyone care at all
will someone hold me close,
never letting me go away.
All this sadness is no good
I should be happy today
but I feel empty inside,
my heart and my mind.
All this misery inside

will someone save me from the dark,
or will I lose this fight tonight.
