Two

Two
two and lost
hands fallen
no fingers crossed
hope gone
empty tummy
silenced by
an absent
mummy

No screams escape
no pictures
of  faces
just big and black
cold empty spaces
no breath to open
whats inside
it has to go away
and hide
inside this empty
hollow pit
I'm 2








and you don't give a shit




I'm 2 and you watch me perform
I sing and dance to keep me warm
to silence this noise to dull this ache
to hide this tremble as my insides shake
If I had a voice to capture this
could pull the words from this abyss
I'd scream mummy mummy please come home
I cannot face this all alone
my body's cold my bones are colder
just let me have your heart
your shoulder-just hold me tight
feel this pain, please let me come
alive again.





I'm 2 and I just don't feel safe
I've been invaded no safe place
I'm 2 please pick me up and run
hold me safe like you're my mum
