Little Lies
These nights
Of tossing and turning
Sleeping with one eye
On the door
My mind a hamster’s wheel
Of insecurity
Impurities
Echoing obscurities
There isn’t a safe place
With you around
My world a dark place
Where your secrets come out
Little by little, one by one,
Shadows from your underworld
Biblical nashings
Straight into my core….
So I am forced to watch the door
Wait for you to enter
To take another bite
A little more mangled
In the tremulous night.

The tension you've drawn here is palpable. Makes me want to keep peeking over my shoulder.

Straight into my core….
How unsafe and insecure
we can be made to feel
from the content of a holy book.

This is so torturing Taffy, umph, wow,
a bit mind boggling and hits too close
to home..
Keep etching the grit out, I get it
trust I do love
