Medb Hurley - six

Bleary eyes, hard-boiled eggs for breakfast
Gooey on the inside
But you can't tell, can't see behind the shell
Don't know how long it's been left
Blue UV light from a thousand screens
Makes you look older than fifty
And love is hard, when the world's on fire
Family's harder and I'm a child again
Getting lost in a room
Careless playing with my food
Tear the egg apart, gut the orange heart
The weight of every move
Reading news and growing quiet
Feeling guilty, knowing why
This house is shaking, waking me up in the night
Soaked in silver moonlight
Six heads bent together tucked up tight
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
Chip paint off my nails, tip sugar on the scales
Pick up a guitar and put it down
You told me you're lonely and I cried
How awful is that in a house with five other people?
Summer skies clogged with clouds
Can I hold you in my mouth?
Take you with me and make you happy
I confess I'm scared now
I'm on the cusp of being old
Can't make dinner, can't wash clothes and
This might be the last time that I'm home
Soaked in golden sunlight, six heads bent together
It's not always fine
But it'll be alright, we will be alright
My head is heavy, my chest is tight
When will we be through this night?
