even after all these years the sun has never said to the earth, you owe me... look at what a love like that can do, it can light up the sky


they scream like i cant here them,
even if theyre right downstairs
like purple pillows and stuffed dogs block out all the sounds they make
my soundless sob consumes me,
breath sniff cough sniff sob again
is what i do for hours.
untill the fire downstairs simmers and the last sparks fly, with the slam of my front door.
and my mother completly exhausted, crumbles under her own wait falling falling untill like me she was in the same pattern..... breathe sniff cough sniff sob,again and again
