drywall

{DELILAH ACOSTA}

he's punching walls again
cohesive arguments evade him

{JUNIPER MONET}

eggshell temperament
no emotional regulation

{LARA WOODEN}

hysterical baby, his gaze always evades me
doesn't know that he is paving the road for my escape everytime
I scratch another line

{MARGARITA AKSAKOVA}

I used to think of him a caring thing
knuckles on his drywall

{SCARLETT WILLIS}

I've tried all of the parenting
descent into hysterically

{ALESSIA BIANCHELLO}

ripping into ribbons, the things he knows he isn't
and severing ties

{ANNA TALLIO}

funny rationality
what would positions in power be?

{SCARLETT WILLIS}

led by feelings that seemingly change hourly
I am floored you ever got there

{ALESSIA BIANCHELLO}

and when he snaps out of it
he drones in monotone on a power trip

{MARGARITA AKSAKOVA}

with telltale blood still running in his coward lips
from raising strokes that he hopes I'll cower in

{DELILAH ACOSTA}

I used to think of him a caring thing
knuckles on his drywall

{ALESSIA BIANCHELLO}

I've tried all of the parenting
descent into hysterically

{JUNIPER MONET}

ripping into ribbons, the things he knows he isn't
and severing ties

{ANNA TALLIO}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{ALESSIA BIANCHELLO}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{SCARLETT WILLIS}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{MARGARITA AKSAKOVA}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{LARA WOODEN}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{JUNIPER MONET}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{DELILAH ACOSTA}

never making good on silent threats
so that he knows that I have nothing

{ALL}

oh, but he has nothing

{JUNIPER MONET}

I used to think of him a caring thing

{ALESSIA BIANCHELLO}

knuckles on his drywall

{LARA WOODEN}

I've tried all of the parenting

{DELILAH ACOSTA}

descent into hysterically

{SCARLETT WILLIS}

ripping into ribbons

{ANNA TALLIO}

the things he knows he isn't

{MARGARITA AKSAKOVA}

and severing ties

{ALL}

I'm severing ties
severing ties
