Good Grief

You stand so tall in your head I’ll erase it all until your dead And regret that I didn’t call But enough is enough, my heart is sunk And it feels like 16, like a magazine, like I’m undoing A husk in my bed And I drive, it’s dusk, my eyes all red And a short, a fleeting thought comes in You’re alive until you own the sin And it feels like 18, like a guillotine, like I’m… Kicked out of home, mumma, 10 and alone I don’t care about things that I’m too young to know Rusted stovetop kettle boiling, feeling like my brain is rolling Like underneath my clothing, itching skin, my aching body Good Grief! Your own creation, lost for words I find my patience Like in the heated moment, up for grabs but never noticed Inside my home a shaking crawl And your eyes do roll and sheets get torn And again a fleeting thought is formed But in 5 it’s gone, the TV’s on And I dream of release and the tears ease, and I fear… Kicked out of home, mumma, ten and alone I don’t care about things that I’m too young to know Rusted stovetop kettle boiling, feeling like my brain is rolling Like underneath my clothing, itching skin, my aching body Good grief! Your own creation, lost for words I find my patience Like in the heated moment, up for grabs but never noticed --- Good Grief - Spacey Jane
