My Dad
Turning The Lights On
My Scarlet Dress

My Dad

Why did u ever have 2 go?
I miss u so much,
A painful disease that u had was eating away at you
But now I have a different pain that is eating away at me

How can my mother re-marry after what you went though?
I love you so much dad
I just wish that just for one last day..............
I could spend it with the dad I never new
We could do all those father daughter things that I’ve never done

That day would be perfect just me and you!

I LOVE YOU DAD!

Turning The Lights On

‘Please turn the lights on’,
I asked him quietly
Hoping the gentleness in my voice would provide a result
‘I’m too scared of the dark’
But the blackness still encases my soul

And I lay, silent, still, motionless
And I wanted, and I begged and I pleaded
And then I saw.
The match was struck
Its burning flame was held to the switch
And I could almost see the end of the grey

‘Please god don’t let it be too late’
‘Please god don’t let him give up’
‘Please god don’t let it be too far’
With one confident, gentle stroke
Placed quietly over desperation
The lights were switched on.

My Scarlet Dress

Just a little cautionary note: This poem may be TRIGGERY for some. Keep yourself safe and please don't read it if you think it'll badly affect you. Take Care, xxx R

They dug their claws in
Pulling at my flesh
Tearing and ripping
Long sharp silver claws
Blood flows over my face
Coating my body in scarlet robes
My claws
My own claws
Me ripping, and tearing
Short, chewed, painted claws
Drawing the scarlet fabric from inside my body
Sewing my robes
Clothing my body
In that beautiful scarlet dress
Flowing, moving, living
My living scarlet dress
