don't come home
05/06/2011 06:09 p.m.
your mouth
tense
you think if you look me
in the eye
i won't notice

you're trembling
under your skin
under all that false earnestness

you don't want to be here
to you
i am a prison guard

how can i set you free
when you refuse the open gate?

well fine then
don't come home
if that's even what you call this place
