I relapsed again

 I relapsed again

Into my comforting sadness

Because only tears can soothe the pain

And it took away my evening

With my children

I attended to my sadness instead of my children

Because it felt relieving 

To acknowledge the painful past


And I relapsed again

Into my wonderland hole

Where anything is possible

Where anything is not possible

Where the rabbit tells me I'm late

And all of the miracles and terrifying phantoms reappear

And I can't seem to find reality


It would be so easy to wake up

And never see earths light

I want to be punished for my sins

I want to see myself get what I deserve

Because I feel like I'm failing again

And it can't be right


I know she's angry and 

Don't know what to do

I pinned her and they hurt her

I cried and she comforted me

I was the baby and she was my mother

And I hate myself for it


Maybe my attachment is too broken to do her good

Maybe I'll keep ripping out her heart

String by string

And leave the bandages behind this time

For once I just want to cry

But it's not safe.


I just want to stop being robbed

By demons that no one can see

The cruel gremlins steal me away from my children

And they want me to notice them

My sadness overwhelms me

How much longer in this pain

Has my brain changed forever?

Grumbling

 groans

A grumble

Can penetrate 

Safety

How can I forget his look

The look that speaks 1000 phrases

That symbolize 

You are below me

You aren’t worth any more time
