control

 
you don't know where the holes came from
the plaster is cracking across the walls
they are like the stale chips you
tried to eat
again
and forgot to throw away again
you left the cupboard doors open
again

you

found a shirt neatly folded on top of
a pile of dirty clothes again
but forget to put it away
and are still unsure
why this happens

it reminds you of when you could
rely on yourself and reminds you
of how easy that is to
take from
someone

again



what an odd thing
to control your breathing
when you are
alone
