The Only Unforgivable Thing

The only unforgivable thing Hauls itself out of bed Looks over my shoulder At the BloodyEnglishWeather The only unforgivable thing Waits for me in the corner of the room Laughs as I clean my teeth Laughs as I rub at my eyes The only unforgivable thing Is curled up in the wardrobe with my clothes Sticks like chicken bones in my throat Ruins the ritual Sunday lunchtimes The only unforgivable thing Watches itself with me Every night on the TV Follows me across the park As I go out walking in the dark Waits for me in the kitchen cupboards The only unforgivable thing The only unforgivable thing
