The Space Between Us

Rotting away inside the living room wall I hear you and your new family Playing board games Loving Monopoly They sound so happy If only they knew how you disfigured me Every time you touch the wall I think about the plastic bag You wrapped around my head My cheeks blushed, turned red Nails broke off Trying to claw to no avail Am I dead right now? I used to have a seat at the table I used to hang pictures on the wall I used to have a name What is my name? Where am I? Am I in the wall? I can’t breathe! I am trying to move but I can’t I am not strong enough I should’ve noticed The space between us.

Thankyou. I am glad. It’s hard for me to describe the toxic relationships I have had so I use a dark poetry.
