House rules ( childhood)

 


Your first steps were skewed but right.
You never could sleep through the night.

Don't trust, don't feel, don't talk, you see.
Please just set me free.

You cried and cried, they could not care less .
pain within, could not be less.

care, the touch of a moms caress.
You missed it then , I miss it less.

always to blame.
What a shame .

Don't trust, don't feel, don't talk, you see.
Please just set me free.

Never could do  right.
Never could sleep through the night.

Shame it  is. It  keeps you there.
dark pit of despair.

To read took hours .
That boy still cowers.

wallow, In The shame you walk.
Don't trust don't feel, don't talk.

To have  never had,  and so lost .
Some memories, aren't worth the cost.

That pain , that horror, showed to me.
Scared little boy is me.

Don't trust don't feel and don't fucking talk to me.

the house rules for me.
