My father's anger,

Like the knives

In the drawer

In the kitchen

Are in need of

Constant sharpening.

And so they are,

With each metallic scrape,

More insidious than before.

There are no words I can say

Or want to say

That will lure him away

From

His voice, or

His temper.

Take a bite of my brittle heart,

And see how it tastes

When no blood

Remains.

Like a child

I am small,

Like a fly on the wall.

One swat and I disappear,

Or come crashing down

As a chandelier,

And only then

Will I be loud enough

For you to hear.

Be feared,

I have only one ear,

And with it

I listen to all the wrong things.

He plucked out my eyes

When I was young,

And made new ones.

Only now,

I see

Just like

Him.

Funny how I'm grown up and still being told what to do and how to act, and suddenly I'm 5 and being scolded for sneaking extra cookies, and the tears burn.

I cried myself to sleep last night, my tears the only warmth I have ever felt.

I should like to perfectly and utterly disappear.

I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive. I could say it a thousand times more, nothing makes me feel more alive than laughter and tears, than screaming and playing music, singing, and quietness. I am alive. In every moment. No one can take that away from me.

Someone tell me what to do with this grief now that I have it. Where do i put it? How do i rest? Will I ever stop crying? Make it go away. I wanted it, so that I could feel something for once in my life. I thought I could heal from it. Make it go away, this love in a heavy coat. My love which has nowhere to go. Make it go away.
