domestic thrillers I

04 Nov, 2025

i'm churning through
domestic thrillers
they're usually british 
or so i hope

and she's posh
she's moved to london
or away
and made a hash of it
or perhaps it's wales
for this successful 
advertiser

but she's missing the one thing
it's just 
she's a little too tall
a little to old
immature or cold
for a man
to ever love her
as her mum must remind her
every time

or there is one
a man that is
and she's just now met him
it's whirlwind sinister
passion facade
or she's married with two children
it's PTA perfection
tenuous stable
tone changed recently

and he's hiding something 
like
he was married before
or he's still married now
or now then 
he's in love
with your new best friend
well, "friend"
because she's come 
to replace you

and she's your long lost sister
whose husband you stole
twenty years ago
or maybe it's your mum
who's jealous 
of your curls

it's all secrets and lies
self doubt 
and hiding
suburban respiring
who is it
is it anything
path twist 
reveal

then it's you
and it's yours
saved your secrets for the epilogue
