a house to the lost

it came across fast 
with the weight of a battleship
seething on the inside
the body wasn’t built for this

a house to the lost 
and the lies of politics
bleeding on the inside 
we don’t have the strength for this

asking questions
dropping crumbs
don’t look now 
see how far we’ve come

saving grace
can’t stay for long
tell me did you have a hard day
saving face
you’re doing fine 
tell me was the effort worth the waste

totally fine and stable
like a rotten tree
hollow on the inside 
coated in pleasantries

have we been gone 
can you still feel the edge of me
looking on the bright side 
the night will come eventually

watching movements
taking notes
follow down 
instructions never spoke

saving grace
can’t stay for long
tell me did you have a hard day
saving face
you’re doing fine 
tell me was the effort worth the waste
