anxious girl goes to an open mic night

raphaela

4 min read

An anxious girl goes to an open mic night. An anxious girl goes to an open mic night and she is scared. She pushes open the rusted, rotted door and escapes the harsh cold of the London streets for the comfort of a warmly lit pub on a Thursday night, green and red metal plates that nobody particularly pays attention to lining the walls, a man with a long grey beard nursing a beer in the corner. She...

raphaela

i thought i was over this that i’d healed my heart but i suppose i’ll never be that’s the tragedy of this art

i watch how she charms you just like all the others before runs her hands through her curls why i watch, i’m still not sure

she says something funny you lower your head hiding your smile oh, it fills me with dread

she drinks from your cup i think i’ve seen it all her spit mingling with ...

a great man

raphaela

1 min read

a great man was born in dublin, 1939 oh, a country torn by many a wretched swine

with more siblings than fingers on two hands born to a clan deep in the lands

brought to a small home on the wrong side of the Liffey oh, but his heart did roam told his Mam he’d be back in a jiffy

for how could he predict he’d meet an english girl Islington they had picked they were married in a whirl

a kind sou...

i have to go to greece tomorrow

raphaela

1 min read

“i have to go to greece tomorrow” i assumed you were having another breakdown or midlife crisis

“why?” i asked your best friend’s mother was dead “oh.” is all i said

because what am i supposed to say? i knew her, of course i did ever since i was a baby

brightly coloured lipstick and a lust for life- the ultimate rejection of her old age

am i supposed to feel something? because i don’t feel mu...

carry me home

raphaela

1 min read

darling, do you remember? the night i found you there six feet under woodland moss you were too bloodied to care

i pulled you from the roots the trees held you as their own you folded into my calloused hands i said “my love, we’re going home”

carrying you from the forest a trail of blood swam on our tail the pellets beat down on your skin first signs of a reckoning hail

the years came and went ...

confession

raphaela

1 min read

“look at us” she said i’ve heard it countless times unbelievable truths can’t spill out of the confines of rhymes

“our reputation precedes us” and that at least is true because who would think the good girls could have ever done this to you?

but i am sick of relying upon my carefully crafted good name doesn’t the world have the right to know i share in the sinners’ shame?

with a sickening smil...

revenge

am i an awful person? the answer they tell me is no

but see, i think i am after all, aren’t i actively blackmailing someone?

“not blackmail” you say but i’m holding on to evidence that we both know is dangerous isn’t that the same thing?

it’s for my own safety that’s what i say in case you try to destroy me i can prove that i was never the villain

sadistically i want that want to have our fig...

memory’s malady

raphaela

1 min read

if i look at old photos for too long i start to feel sick a nauseating, earth shattering sickness

in those moments before the flash time seems to stretch out forever

everybody holding poses sucking in stomachs knees creaking from the weight of crouching

then suddenly it’s over and they’ll forget all about it.

until one day many, many years later a sad girl who sits alone

rotting away in her ...

a chill had started to spread over the inches of my body a fire had already been lit you cursed everybody

of your own femininity oh, how you’re scared i would have laughed sooner but oh, how i cared

because we were friends or so we used to say but friends don’t kill your soul each and every day

and i tolerated it for so long probably could for some more but some things i can’t forgive you’re ro...

good girls’ prey

raphaela

1 min read

“i wish i had never let go” is that what you want us to say? “come back, i need you” but that isn’t our way

at coups, oh, how we excel stage one whenever we get bored and the consequences they reap? a luxury we will never afford

it’s always for a reason, though or at least so we tell ourselves because what’s another lie to stack up on the shelves?

of course, we’re never the villains good girls ...
