No, he doesn’t exist in my mind
Nor does she, nor does he, no evidence here
I won’t be exposed
They’re gone from my life
My perfectly normal life
I am the only one who exists
On the mantelpiece my life in focus
On my bike, at the fair, with mummy and daddy
They love me so much, me alone
Do I even exist?
Where is any evidence?
I’m here all alone in
This place they call home
A discarded negative
The mirror of eriseD flashed him our smiles
Such brightness he has with my same green eyes
He pictures himself in us, his mum and dad
He hopes that we still exist
Looking at them on every page
Smiling and waving as if they exist
Arm in arm on their wedding day
Ghost images
Hauntingly beautiful
