Ambiguous Domestic Abuse

Ambiguous Domestic Abuse.

The hall mirror, has gone.
It was my cage door!
My daily changing reflection
side glanced swift as
an un-robed ghost  i begin again,
last step stairs sitting,
stareing unblinked, eyeliner floods 
cloud my slited vision, blurred
and faint pulsed, but no pain. 
Stagnant the visionless mourning morning 
it does not move, and 
if you are awake, neither do I,
Beyond the gapeing splintered 
front door, lies a tiny piece of
what could be, for me. 
Betrayed in public, by two running colours
