Dismembered
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
She dismembered me with words,
mine not hers,
left me swimming in my own mortification.
She opened the door, said not here, no more,
and returned me for reeducation.
To insecure,not remotely mature, living a life of imitation.
I was younger,it was true ,what is one to do?
So i spent six months on my playstation.
