Just Desserts

Nights are no longer
synonymous with

sanctuary.

You bartered
peace of mind for an
attempt at normality
and it’s

slipping

through your fingers.

This time Darling you
have no one to
blame-

but you.

    So much said in so few words. I totally love the starting words, and the form of the poem- the spaces, breaks and everything. I enjoyed reading it!

    I always love the snappiness of your work; it's concise and hard-hitting.

    All the best as ever,

    I really liked this poem...enough to nominate it in fact. One thing that I stumbled on and I hope you read over it again...

    and it’s

    slipping

    through your fingers.

    And this time you

    I think the second 'and' being so close to the first spoils the flow somewhat.
