Behind a Different Door:

[gemini]

There is some effective internal or maybe you'd call it slant rhyme going on in this poem. It's more something you hear than read, but it's there, and it contributes to the horrid graphic scenario and creepiness I feel reading it.
I'd suggest italics instead of quotations for what is said in the poem.

Behind a Different Door:
Mummy scares me...
She drinks lots of water;
after she stops falling over
it's time for cigarettes

"Milly" she calls

I'm frightened of hearing.
My name gives me dreams
of bloodied broom handles
and the smell of poo

I'm invisible sometimes
but sometimes not
when she sees me through the wood
and points a finger that says

"I know where you are"

I wee myself and start shaking

She can see me now
she's got the broom...
