sunday best 9.1

my sunday best is my h&m underpants with the hole in. no bra and an oversized t shirt smeared mascara and furry tongue. my sunday best is the sun splashing onto my hairy shins through the slats of the blinds. head pounding weak knees my sunday best is being left completely alone.

in peace 28.11

i am too on the nose.  my laugh is too loud too cutting. screachy, like a witch.  i swear too much.  men physically cringe when my tongue touches my top teeth, cunt.  i'm a slut! you shift in your seat when i tell you how much i love sex.  a lot.  my hair needs brushing! … Continue reading in peace 28.11 →

pink sludge 26.11

a tupperware box of pink sludge. i hold it in my hands, bloody and bruised guard it with my life even when they tell me it’s worth nothing. that doesn’t matter. i’ll be buried with it six foot underground with the worms and my little plastic box. you pick it out of your teeth every … Continue reading pink sludge 26.11 →

damage: collateral 27.10

i am blessed with snake eyes. lines of poetry explode behind my eyes like fireworks. sometimes i think of what could’ve been if things had gone differently. is it my fault? did i create the current situations? if so, i am sorry. not for you, but for me you’re happier than i could ever make … Continue reading damage: collateral 27.10 →

the fox 23.10

i sink into cherry leather my palms sticking to sodden oak making little tears in a john smith’s beer mat. this isn’t your local it’s mine. but you slide into a corner table and slot in like you belong. you blend into the depressing wallpaper and sip a lager shandy. i can see our words … Continue reading the fox 23.10 →

not very good 21.10

i’m reminded of the time when i stumbled, drunk all the way from my bar to your restaurant. i was unsure of my intentions but all i could think of was you, all consuming, taking all of my brain. i burst through the door after closing sprinting to your open kitchen. you looked shocked to … Continue reading not very good 21.10 →

excerpt from my diary 4.10

i feel tired today. it’s cold out and i think of the insects. i also think of fixing a drink, but i’m too tired to move. the latest discovery of my insides is that my biggest fear is feeling nothing at all. when i’m sad, i wallow in it. when i’m happy, i cling to … Continue reading excerpt from my diary 4.10 →

Excerpt from my diary 12.8

In the adjustment period of realising I'm a bad person. I'm not ready to change yet. I think about suicide a lot. I wouldn't, because of my parents. but this world is too overwhelming, sometimes. In good and bad ways. And all I want to do is make it stop. I imagine myself sat on … Continue reading Excerpt from my diary 12.8 →

Untitled 8.6

why do you look at me like that? why do you step closer each time something is revealed about me, as if you’re intrigued? don’t be.  there’s nothing to wonder, nothing to uncover or discover about me.  does it disappoint you? i’m not a thing that needs saving needs grabbing by the collar and pulled … Continue reading Untitled 8.6 →
