dear mother pt. 1
i can scarcely fathom, begin to unpack
the stars i once saw in your eyes, burnt out beyond repair
a husk of a once nurturing soul, now plagued
the voices, they come, they come from the abyss
and yet i cannot tell you, you won't comprehend what 'he'
he, who is he, what he desires.

Author's Note
it has been a while since i posted a new poem; they're back and as a dark as ever. i recently forced myself to reconcile with my severely mentally ill mother and brother once more before i decided that enough was enough. this is my pain, revel in it.
